First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 32 times
Summary
This study tested whether a self-hypnosis smartphone app called Hypnotidoo could help reduce inattention and anxiety in children aged 7 to 12 with ADHD who are already taking medication. The app offers short, screenless audio sessions focused on relaxation and coping. Researchers compared children who used the app for 6 weeks alongside their usual treatment to those who only received usual treatment. The goal was to see if the app could provide extra support for common ADHD symptoms.
