Background:
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent childhood disorder with existing treatment challenges, and research on the combined therapy of methylphenidate hydrochloride and sensory integration training for it is inconclusive. Thus, this study explored the clinical efficacy of this combined treatment in children with ADHD, finding it significantly improved relevant scores and reduced adverse reactions, suggesting its potential for wider use.
Methods:
From June 2022 to June 2023, a research sample of 102 individuals diagnosed with ADHD was recruited and allocated into 2 groups at an observation group (n=52) and a control group (n=50). Exclusively methylphenidate hydrochloride extended-release tablets were given to the control group as treatment, whereas the observation group underwent combined therapy with methylphenidate hydrochloride extended-release tablets and sensory integration training. The assessment and comparison of sensory integration and praxis tests, full-scale response control quotient, full-scale attention quotient, Conners' behavior rating scale, and adverse reactions during the treatment period were conducted prior to and following 2 treatment cycles in both the observation and control groups.
Results:
Prior to treatment, there were no remarkable variations (P > .05) in the scores of sensory integration and praxis tests, Integrated Visual and Auditory Continuous Performance Test (IVA-CPT) scores, and behavior rating scale between the 2 groups. Following the treatment, the observation group exhibited notably superior scores in the sensory integration and praxis test, IVA-CPT, and behavior rating scale, with a notably reduced occurrence of complications, in comparison to the control group (P < .05).
Conclusion:
To summarize, the utilization of methylphenidate hydrochloride alongside sensory integration training has demonstrated promising effectiveness in treating children diagnosed with ADHD and deserves broader implementation.
