La realtà virtuale nella riabilitazione delle funzioni esecutive nei bambini con disturbo da deficit di attenzione e iperattività. (VREALFUN-ADHD)

2 novembre 2026 aggiornato da: Merja Nikula

La realtà virtuale nella riabilitazione delle funzioni esecutive nei bambini (VREALFUN)

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is caused by an abnormality in the development of the central nervous system. Children with attention and executive function difficulties often need long-lasting rehabilitation and there is an increasing need for timely, cost-effective, and feasible rehabilitation interventions, where the training is targeted to support everyday life functional capacity. The use of Virtual Reality (VR) in the rehabilitation of children with attention and executive function deficits offers opportunities to practice skills required in everyday life in environments emulating real-life situations.

The major aim of this research project is to develop a novel effective VR rehabilitation method for children with deficits in attention, activity control and executive functions by using the virtual environment that corresponds to the typical everyday life. In this randomized control study VR glasses are used to present the tasks, and the levels of difficulty are adjusted according to the child's progress.

Researchers expect that; 1) Intensive training improves the attention regulation, activity control skills and executive functions of the children in the intervention group; 2) Training of executive skills with motivating tasks in a virtual environment that is built to meet challenging everyday situations transfers to the child's everyday life, 3) The duration of the training effect does not depend on the success of the VR training itself, but on how well the child adopts new strategies that make everyday life easier and how the parent is able to support the child's positive behaviour in everyday life.

Cosa sta misurando lo studio?

Misure di risultato primarie

Misura del risultato
Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
Epeli (Executive Performance in Everyday LIving) task
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, 4-6 weeks, 6 months and 12 months.

A virtual reality task for attention, executive function, and prospective memory. Change in total score, task efficacy, navigation efficacy, controller motion, and total action.

ADHD-rating scale IV (ADHD-RS) (parent report)
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, 4-6 weeks, 6 months and 12 months.

The ADHD-RS (parent report) is an assessment of a child's ADHD symptoms with 18 items based on the child's behaviour over the past 6 months. 4-point Likert scale. The total score ranges 0-54, scores in inattention subscale and hyperactivity/impulsivity subscale range 0-27. Change in the total score, inattention subscale score, and hyperactivity/impulsivity subscale score on a parent-rated ADHD-RS. A lower score means a better outcome.

Misure di risultato secondarie

Misura del risultato
Misura Descrizione
Lasso di tempo
Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF-2) (parent form)
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, 4-6 weeks, 6 months and 12 months.

A measure of executive functions of children and adolescents in natural settings containing 63 items rated by the parent. 3-point Likert scale. Change in Global Executive Composite score, Behavior regulation score, Emotion regulation score, and Cognitive regulation score on parent-rated BRIEF-2. In case the data in the Behavior regulation, Emotion regulation, and Cognitive regulation subscales are not too strongly correlated (r<0.7) and there will be a significant effect of the intervention on the BRIEF-2 Global Executive Composite score, we will use the subscales to conduct a post hoc analysis examining which domains of executive functions are affected.
