Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of sensory integration training combined with EEG biofeedback on core symptoms in children with ADHD.Methods: Fifty-two children with attention-deficit, hyperactive-impulsive and combined ADHD were selected. They were randomly divided into control group, sensory integration training group, EEG biofeedback group, and sensory integration training + EEG biofeedback group, and after 4 months of intervention, concentration time and impulsive- hyperactivity and hyperactivity index scores on the PSQ scale were assessed.Results: Compared with that before the intervention, the attention time was significantly increased (P < 0.01), and the impulsive-hyperactivity and hyperactivity index scores were significantly decreased (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). After the intervention, the attention time was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), the attention time of the multimodal intervention group was significantly higher than that of the single intervention group (P < 0.01), and the impulsive-hyperactivity and hyperactivity index scores were significantly lower than those of the single intervention group (P < 0.05).Conclusion: Multimodal intervention can significantly improve the concentration level of children with ADHD, and significantly improve the behavioral symptoms of impulsive-hyperactivity and hyperactivity. Multimodal interventions were more effective than single interventions in improving core symptoms in children with ADHD. The results of this study provide a reference for related research and practical application.

Summary
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurobehavioral disorder in childhood and adolescence [1]. The long-term side effects of drug therapy have not been determined, it is increasingly recognized that continuous drug therapy may have adverse cardiovascular effects in children and may affect the growth and development of children [17]. To cope with these deficiencies, researchers are increasingly focusing on and seeking non-pharmacological alternative treatment strategies in addition to drugs. There is strong evidence that pharmacological treatment and non-pharmacological interventions such as psychoeducation programs, behavioral interventions, and cognitive behavioral therapy have a major beneficial effect on the core symptoms of ADHD in ∼80% of cases, at least in the short term [19,20,21,22,23,24]
