Virtual Reality for Parent Training Intervention

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Clinical Trial

Official title: Implementation of Parent Training Through the Use of Virtual Reality: a Randomized, Controlled, Single-blind Study

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Previous research has shown how parental responses can affect ADHD symptoms by triggering dysfunctional cyclic processes. Therefore, it may be useful within rehabilitative treatments to include parent training (PT). Recent literature data have demonstrated the potential of using virtual reality in the rehabilitation of children with ADHD. No study has been conducted on the use of virtual reality (VS) within a PT program. It is possible to hypothesize that virtual reality, by providing a controlled environment can help the parent improve his or her ability to self-control and perceive the child's difficulties. This allows the parent's empathizing skills to be implemented and reinforces the educational techniques learned during the parent training intervention.

Clinical Trial Description

The investigators designed a single-blind, randomized, controlled study on ADHD patients and their parents, with the aim of evaluating the effects of virtual reality support during PT program compared to traditional PT sessions. ;
