NCT ID NCT07173439
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested a digital therapeutic device that combines driving simulations and memory exercises to improve attention and reduce hyperactivity in children with ADHD. About 120 children aged 6 to 12 took part, with some using the active device and others a placebo version. The goal was to see if this non-drug approach could safely ease core ADHD symptoms.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
digital therapeutic device (driving simulation and N-Back cognitive training)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a drug-free option to help children with ADHD improve attention and reduce hyperactivity.
What could go wrong
This is a single completed trial with 120 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The placebo also included a driving simulation, which may reduce the apparent benefit.
