- A multicenter, randomized, single-blind, sham-controlled trial evaluated the digital therapeutic game STAR RUCKUS for improving executive function in children with ADHD.
- The study included 122 children aged 6-12 with diagnosed ADHD, assigned to either the STAR RUCKUS intervention or a sham control, completing five daily sessions over four weeks.
- STAR RUCKUS showed greater reduction in clinician-rated ADHD symptoms compared to sham (-7.50 vs. -4.00), with significant improvements in both inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity.
- Results indicated small-to-moderate statistically significant improvements (ηp² = 0.05) in ADHD symptoms, alongside high adherence and favorable tolerability of the digital therapeutic.
