Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder having variable cluster of hyperactivity, impulsivity and inattention symptoms affecting the normal cognitive and behavioral function of an individual ADHD is characterized by decreased attention span and impulsivity. EEG power were investigated in patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnosed as per DSMV criteria. EEG were conducted for 30 ADHD children and 30 healthy controls of comparable age (8-9 yr) and sex. The EEG power tests include absolute power of theta, ADHD patients showed significantly higher theta absolute power, (p<0.005). This study supplants the tenet of maturational arrest of higher cognitive function of alertness and attention in ADHD.
