Overview

Open-label trial demonstrates significant improvement in inattention for youth with ADHD, suggesting VR may offer a viable non-pharmacological treatment option.

Key Points

  • The pilot trial involved 30 youth with ADHD undergoing up to 20 VR training sessions over 4-6 weeks.
  • Participants showed significant improvements in inattention symptoms and functional impairments post-training.
  • The VR intervention specifically targeted cognitive areas such as impulse control and processing speed.
  • Findings indicate that VR cognitive training is feasible and well-tolerated, highlighting its potential in treating ADHD.
