Abstract

Objective To explore the effect of music therapy on children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD),in order to provide new ideas for the treatment of ADHD. Methods Children with ADHD first diagnosed from January 2017 to January 2019 at the children′s clinic of Shanghai Mental Health Center were randomly divided into three groups,including music therapy group(n=47),drug therapy(n=46) and combined therapy group(n=43).The improvement of clinical symptoms and executive function among the three groups were evaluated and compared before and after intervention. Results 1) After music therapy,the scores of conduct question,learning question,hyperactive impulse and hyperactive index of Conners Scale in music therapy group were significantly different(t=2.242-3.687,P<0.05).There were significant differences on the number of sustained errors,the level of conceptualization and the number of sustained responses in WCST(t=2.312-4.695,P<0.05).2) Univariate analysis indicated that there were significant differences on the number of persistent errors,the number of complete classification,the level of conceptualization and the number of persistent responses in WCST(F=3.432-6.610,P<0.05). Conclusionss Music therapy is effective in improving the clinical symptoms and executive function of ADHD children,and the effect of combined intervention is better than single intervention.
