In 30 seconds

This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effects of the digital cognitive training application 'NeuroNation MED' on adults with ADHD. The study involved 77 participants and found significant improvements in psychological quality of life and subjective cognitive ratings, with effect sizes ranging from 0.47 to 0.94. However, no significant changes were observed in objective cognitive performance or ADHD characteristics.

Key findings

  • Participants in the training group showed significant improvements in psychological quality of life compared to controls.
  • Subjective ratings indicated perceived gains in attention, memory, language, and executive functions with effect sizes of 0.47 to 0.94.
  • No significant changes were observed in objective neuropsychological test performance or ADHD characteristics.

Why it matters

Understanding the impact of digital cognitive training on perceived cognitive functioning and quality of life can inform non-pharmacological treatment options for adults with ADHD, addressing both subjective and objective aspects of the condition.
