background : the aim of the present study was to assess the auditory working memory span of children with (central) auditory processing disorders (c) apd aged 8 to 10 years and to compare the results with normal ones. methods: twenty five children with (central) auditory processing disorders (8-10 years) and 75 normal children (8-10 years) from both genders participated in this comparative stud...

objective: because of functional impairment caused by generalized anxiety disorder and due to cognitive side ‎effects of many anti-anxiety agents, in this study we aimed to evaluate the influence of passion ‎flower standardized extract on reaction time in patients with generalized anxiety disorder.‎ method: thirty patients aged 18 to 50 years of age, who were diagnosed with generalized anxiety ...

BACKGROUND Previous functional neuroimaging studies investigating the neuroanatomy of conversion disorder have yielded inconsistent results that may be attributed to small sample sizes and disparate methodologies. The objective of this study was to better define the functional neuroanatomical correlates of conversion disorder. METHODS Ten subjects meeting clinical criteria for unilateral sens...

Differential diagnosis between sensory modulation disorder (SMD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is often challenging, since these disorders occur at a high rate of co-morbidity and share several clinical characteristics. Preliminary studies providing evidence that these are distinct disorders have focused solely on body functions, using sophisticated laboratory measurements...

The Interactive Metronome (IM) is a neuromotor therapy program that utilizes a highly adaptive technology to help individuals improve their underlying motor planning and sequencing ability. A study in the American Journal of Occupational Therapy (March/April 2001) reported that children who received IM treatment showed statistically significant changes in attention, motor control, language proc...

Abstract Date Presented 04/22/2023 This research study, a retrospective review, aimed to answer the following question: ‘What is prevalence of co-occurring psychiatric diagnoses attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and anxiety for children with autism spectrum (ASD) diagnosis sensory processing (SPD) between ages 5 13 years who received an interdisciplinary team evaluation from pedia...

This study compared magnetoencephalographic (MEG) imaging-derived indices of auditory and somatosensory cortical processing in children aged 8-12 years with autism spectrum disorder (ASD; N = 18), those with sensory processing dysfunction (SPD; N = 13) who do not meet ASD criteria, and typically developing control (TDC; N = 19) participants. The magnitude of responses to both auditory and tacti...
