Detaljert beskrivelse
This randomized controlled study will examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of a six-week, music-based binaural beats stimulation (BBS) intervention in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The study aims to enroll 40 adults between 18 and 55 years of age with a previous ADHD diagnosis. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the BBS intervention group or the control group, with approximately 20 participants in each group.
During the first study visit, participants will provide informed consent and complete demographic and mental health questionnaires. ADHD symptoms will be assessed using the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale. Participants will also complete baseline cognitive assessments using the CogniFit Research platform. The assessment battery will evaluate cognitive abilities related to attention, memory, coordination, and reasoning.
Participants will then attend 12 supervised listening sessions over six weeks, with two sessions conducted each week. Each listening session will include 20 minutes of music delivered through headphones. Participants assigned to the intervention group will listen to music containing embedded binaural beats, while participants assigned to the control group will listen to similar music without binaural beats. Before each listening session, participants will rest quietly for five minutes, after which heart rate and blood pressure will be measured and readiness to participate will be assessed.
After the six-week intervention, participants will complete the same cognitive assessment battery administered at baseline. Changes in cognitive outcomes from baseline to six weeks will be compared between the intervention and control groups. Session attendance and participant retention will also be evaluated as indicators of intervention feasibility and acceptability.

Eksperimentell: Binaural Beats Stimulation (BBS)
Participants receive music containing embedded binaural beats.
|
Participants will receive 12 supervised binaural beats stimulation sessions over six weeks, with two sessions conducted per week.
During each session, participants will listen through headphones to 20 minutes of music containing embedded binaural beats.
Music will be selected based on each participant's preferred genre from available options.
|
|
Sham-komparator: Music Control
Participants receive similar music without embedded binaural beats.
|
Participants will receive 12 supervised music-listening sessions over six weeks, with two sessions conducted per week.
During each session, participants will listen through headphones to 20 minutes of music without embedded binaural beats.
The music, listening duration, session schedule, setting, and available genre options will be similar to those provided to the experimental group.

Tiltaksbeskrivelse |
Tidsramme |
|---|---|---|
|
Intervention Feasibility
Tidsramme: Throughout the six-week intervention
|
Feasibility will be evaluated using the numbers of participants screened, eligible, and enrolled; the proportion of enrolled participants who complete the intervention and post-intervention assessments; and the number and percentage of the 12 scheduled listening sessions completed by each participant.
|
Throughout the six-week intervention
|
|
Participant Acceptability
Tidsramme: Throughout the six-week intervention
|
Acceptability will be assessed during each intervention session by documenting changes in health status, perceived positive or negative effects, and any discomfort or concerns.
After each session, participants will rate their enjoyment on a 5-point scale ranging from 1 (not at all enjoyable) to 5 (extremely enjoyable) and provide open-ended feedback about their mood, emotions, relaxation, and other perceived effects.
Responses will be summarized descriptively.
