Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: ADHD, Deficits in Motor Control and Perception
• Interventions: Device: neurocognitive therapy based on new technologies; Other: conventional neurocognitive therapy

• Registration Number: NCT06477575
• Lead Sponsor: University of Extremadura

Brief Summary

To scientifically demonstrate the improvements in cognitive functions and core symptoms of children and adolescents diagnosed with ADHD through the implementation of a cognitive rehabilitation program based on the use of the most relevant technologies found in the systematic review carried out during the first phase.

Two intervention groups will be randomly assigned for the study:

G1: composed of 20 patients who will receive neurocognitive therapy based on new technologies. This will be the experimental group.

G2: composed of 20 patients who will receive conventional neurocognitive therapy for ADHD treatment. This group will be the control group

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
CARAS-R(Difference perception test)	8 weeks	evaluates the ability to quickly and correctly perceive similarities and differences in partially ordered patterns of stimulation. It measures perceptual and attentional skills by means of 60 graphic items consisting of schematic drawings of faces with elementary strokes.
WisC-V (Wechsler intelligence scale for children)	8 weeks	provides primary intelligence index scores that reflect intellectual functioning in different cognitive areas: verbal comprehension, visuospatial, fluid reasoning, working memory and processing speed.
STROOP (Colors and Words Test)	8 weeks	reference test for the detection of neuropsychological problems and brain damage. It allows to evaluate the phenomenon of interference, intimately linked to inhibitory control processes.
