Guided ADHD Therapy for ADHD
(GAMES Trial)
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial is testing a video game that adults with ADHD can play at home to help manage their symptoms. The game aims to improve attention and reduce hyperactivity by training the brain. Researchers are studying if this new approach is safe and effective. The Secret Trail of Moon (TSTM) is a virtual reality game designed for cognitive training related to core ADHD symptoms and executive dysfunction.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
If you are currently taking medications like methylphenidate or amphetamine for ADHD, you may need to stop them if you and the study doctor agree it's appropriate. If you're on non-stimulant ADHD medications, you cannot participate in the trial.
What data supports the effectiveness of the ADHD Therapy treatment?
Research shows that patients who received a combination of treatments for ADHD were more likely to improve compared to those who received only medication or psychological treatment alone. This suggests that a guided ADHD therapy, which may involve multiple approaches, could be effective in improving ADHD symptoms.12345
Is Guided ADHD Therapy safe for humans?
How does Guided ADHD Therapy differ from other ADHD treatments?
Guided ADHD Therapy is unique because it combines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with parent management training (PMT), focusing on self-instructional and self-management skills to reduce ADHD symptoms and improve behavior. This approach is particularly effective when combined with medication and addresses both the child's and parents' roles in managing ADHD.511121314
