Virtual reality ADHD training for kids and teens
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a virtual reality (VR) training program can help strengthen attention and focus in children and teens with ADHD. Participants will use a VR headset for training sessions, and the study will compare different groups to see how well the training works.
