Development of a Novel Virtual Reality Treatment for Emerging Adults With ADHD
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Meta Quest 3 VR Headset with noise cancelling headphones for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this pilot randomized clinical trial is to test the impact of a virtual reality program for improving the ability of emerging adults (age 18-25) with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to stay focused while completing homework and studying. This study compares the impact of using a virtual reality headset to using a virtual reality headset while also receiving feedback about levels of focus to a control group. The main question is whether participants demonstrate significantly improved concentration while completing homework and studying in virtual reality and whether they enjoy and prefer working in a virtual reality environment. Concentration is measured both through participant report and also using keyboard and mouse click data to assess work productivity objectively.
