NCT ID NCT07426315
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether immersive virtual reality (VR) therapy can improve cognitive, motor, and social skills in children aged 8 to 18 with ADHD, autism, or cerebral palsy. Participants will use the CAREN VR system, which provides interactive exercises with visual, sound, and touch feedback, while a control group receives standard therapies. The goal is to see if VR makes rehabilitation more engaging and effective.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Immersive virtual reality therapy using the CAREN system
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a more engaging and effective rehabilitation option for children with neurodevelopmental disorders, potentially improving attention, motor skills, and social interaction.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage study (108 participants) testing a novel approach, so results may not be conclusive or generalizable. The therapy is behavioral, not a cure, and benefits may vary widely.
