Summary

This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled study that will recruit children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and randomly assign them to a test group and a control group. The patients in the test group will be given a visual focus game to play and the patients in the control group will be given an animated video of the game that had no therapeutic effect. Treatment will be required at least 5 times per week for 2 weeks, with each game or video session lasting 30 minutes. Clinical scales and functional near-infrared spectroscopic imaging will be performed before and at the end of the 2 weeks of treatment, respectively.

Conditions

• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Playing the game	The intervention is based on a parkour game in which the player runs forward as a cartoon character, avoiding obstacles in front of him/her while collecting gold coins and various props. In this process, players need to stay focused and operate in time to avoid obstacles or collect rewards, and as time goes on, the difficulty of the game increases until eventually they cannot avoid obstacles. As time goes on, the difficulty of the game will increase until the end of the game when you can't avoid the obstacles.
BEHAVIORAL	Watching the gameplay video	The intervention consists of a 30-minute non-therapeutic video of a parkour game, which is paused every 10 minutes and requires the patient to click "continue" until the end of the video. No other action is required.
