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

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• WisC-V (Wechsler intelligence scale for children)

  provides primary intelligence index scores that reflect intellectual functioning in different cognitive areas: verbal comprehension, visuospatial, fluid reasoning, working memory and processing speed.

  8 weeks

• STROOP (Colors and Words Test)

  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.

  8 weeks

• CARAS-R(Difference perception test)

  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.

Interventions

neurocognitive therapy based on new technologies DEVICE

The cognitive neurorehabilitation program is based on gaming through the use of the Nintendo Switch device. The following games have been chosen: Pufferfish, Hex Egg, Mystic Totem, Thor's Thunder, since they are games that work on selective attention, concentration and processing speed, which are the variables to be studied in this project. Hardware: Nintendo Switch Software: 60 in 1 game Games: Pufferfish, Hex Egg, Mystic Totem, Thor's Thunder. Therapy time: 30 minutes effective. Number of Sessions: 2 per week / Number of weeks: 8 Total number of intervention sessions: 16 sessions Place: Thercli Center (Don Benito).

conventional neurocognitive therapy OTHER

The cognitive neurorehabilitation program for group active comparator is based on playing more conventional board games that work on selective attention, concentration and processing speed, which are the variables to be studied in this project. Traditional games and token book. Games: Dobble, Lynx, Crazy cups, Jungle speed, animalea, ghost. Card: Stimulate and learn level 3 and 4. Therapy time: 30 minutes effective. No. of sessions: 2 per week / No. of weeks: 8 Total number of intervention sessions: 16 sessions Place: Thercli Center (Don Benito).
