Summary
Blackground:
Currently research on alternative forms of cognitive training in patients diagnosed with ADHD
is gaining interest. Especially, the use of Virtual Reality video games. Our team has
developed an innovative video game based on Virtual Reality, "The Secret Trail of Moon (TSTM)
as a cognitive tool to train 5 main areas of deficit in patients with ADHD. It is superiority
study comparing TSTM with therapeutic chess and control group.
Methods:
This study is prospective, unicentric, randomized with a control group. 105 patients
diagnosed with ADHD and pharmacologically stable, aged between 12 and 22 years. These
patients will be randomized intro three groups: TSTM group (The Secret Trail of Moon); TC
group (Therapeutic Chess) and CG (Control Group). Objective and subjective measures of the
patient, parents and teachers will be included. Patients´visit will be different for each
group. The TSTM group will have 15 face-to face visits: pre-inclusion visit, inclusion visit,
12 training visits and final visit. CT and GC group patients will have 3 face-to- face visits
(pre-inclusion, initial visit and final visit) and 12 email or phone communications during
training.
Discussion: This study aims to demonstrate the added efficacy of cognitive training to drug
treatment. It is a study that tries to demonstrate the superiority of cognitive training with
TSTM compared to a traditional cognitive training (TC) and a control group.
TSTM is presented as a new and powerful cognitive tool thanks to four factors that make it
unique: the feeling of immersion in the scenarios, the variety of mechanics, the
personalization and the playful aspect.
