Comparing the Effectiveness of Painting-Based Art Therapy with Music-Based Art Therapy on Improving Decentralization and Cognitive Function Disorders and Autonomic Nervous System in ADHD Children

Background and Aim : Developmental neuropsychiatric disorders (ADHD) are the most common neurobehavioral disorder of childhood which leads to impairment in educational, social and family life. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of painting based art therapy with art based therapy. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of these therapies on autonomic nervous system activity in music on improvement of dysfunction and cognitive dysfunction (inhibitory control and selective attention in children with ADHD).Methods : The research design was quasi-experimental with pre-test and post-test with control group and applied type. The statistical population was children referred to two clinics in Karaj, 15 of whom were randomly selected in three groups of 5 each. Were replaced. Experimental group 1 received art-based therapy, Experiment 2 received music-based therapy, and control group received no intervention. They were contacted to implement the research project and participated in the research project. At the beginning and end of the study, parents of all three groups completed the Rescue Cognitive Function Questionnaire (2013) and were used for Wechsler Intelligence Decentralization. In order to assess autonomic nervous system before and after treatment, heart rate was measured. . The number of treatment sessions was 10 sessions (twice a week for 30 minutes). Multivariate analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data with SPSS software.Results : The results showed a significant difference between the effects of the two treatments on the variable scores of autonomic nervous system (heart rate) Art-based music therapy had more effect on autonomic nervous system (heart rate) than the art of painting-based therapy. Between the effects of the two treatments on the variable scores of decentralization, art-based therapy had a greater effect on the dysfunction disorder than the art-based therapy. These practices lead to improved child attention by increasing eye-hand coordination, increasing comprehension of detail and accuracy, increasing eye tracking and avoiding excessive eye movement. There were significant differences between the two treatments in the two mentioned variables with the control group. There was no significant difference between the two experimental groups in the cognitive function variable (inhibitory control and selective attention), but the results showed a significant difference between the effects of the two treatments on the cognitive function variable (inhibitory control and selective attention) compared to the control group.Conclusion : Both treatments are effective for the cognitive function variable (inhibitory control and selective attention) and more effective for the painting disorder-centered dysfunction variable and more effective for the autonomic nervous system (heart rate) music-based therapy. So, in general, a combination of both therapies can be effective, and it is advisable to use both treatments for people with developmental neuropsychiatric disorders (ADHD) at the same time. In reducing the problems of decentralization, cognitive function (inhibitory control and selective attention) and autonomic nervous system (heart rate) Use the store with ADHD.
