“…A review has concluded that telemedicine was cost-effective for children and suggested that research should also be conducted in adults with ADHD [ 75 ]. In the pipeline, there is a randomized controlled trial underway to investigate the efficacy of a web-assisted self-help programme for parents of children with ADHD [ 76 ].…”

Purpose of review Technological advancement has led to the development of novel treatment approaches for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This review aims to review recent studies which employ the use of technology to treat ADHD, with particular focus on studies published during a 1-year period from February 2019 to February 2020. Recent findings Most recent studies involved children aged 12 years and below. Interventions included cognitive training through games, neurofeedback and a combination of several approaches. More novel approaches included trigeminal nerve stimulation and brain–computer interface, and studies had utilized technology such as X-box Kinect and eye tracker. There was a shift towards delivering intervention at home and in school, enabled by technology. The study outcomes were variable and mainly included executive functioning measures and clinical ratings. These interventions were generally safe with few reported adverse events. Summary Technology has enabled interventions to be delivered outside of the clinic setting and presented an opportunity for increased access to care and early intervention. Better quality studies are needed to inform on the efficacy of these interventions.

“…The family environment should be also considered because of its influence in the emergence of problematic gaming behavior [ 99 , 100 ] and the persistence of GD symptoms over time [ 20 ]. Therefore, even when video games are considered for ADHD treatment, parent training and individual psychological interventions should always be provided within the framework of a multimodal approach and considering the effectiveness of specialized psychological programs for patients with GD [ 101 , 102 , 103 ] and the parent training for ADHD [ 104 ] even when performed online [ 105 ]. Finally, since a protracted exposure to addictive agents has been shown to result in disruptions in several circuits responsible for maintaining addiction due to neural adaptations, neurocircuit-based interventions could also be taken into account, thanks to their potential to target the neuroanatomical structures that work as ‘nodes’ within these circuits [ 106 ], with protocols specifically created for behavioral addictions [ 107 ].…”

ADHD-Gaming Disorder Comorbidity in Children and Adolescents: A Narrative Review

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurobiological condition characterized by developmentally inadequate levels of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, and a neurobiological disruption in brain neurotransmitters and circuitry causing abnormal responses to rewards. Playing electronic games generates a biological response that activates the neuronal circuits linked to pleasure and reward, and there is a growing attention to this type of activity, which can also turn into a mental health condition. The existence and the boundaries between the functional and the dysfunctional are still a source of debate, with the recognition of ‘Internet Gaming Disorder’ (IGD) as a condition belonging to the broader area of addiction requiring more in-depth study with respect to the DSM-5, while ‘Gaming Disorder’ (GD) was officially recognized as a new diagnosis by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the updated revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). Notwithstanding, the suggested criteria for the diagnosis of Gaming Disorder are still debated. Since ADHD has been reported as a risk factor for developing addictions, this narrative review aims to provide the current state-of-the art of the knowledge about the comorbidity between ADHD and Gaming Disorder. For this aim, a literature search was conducted using a combination of specific keywords and the results are discussed within the R-Do-C framework and dimensions, and implications for treatment are considered.

“…Such an approach is foreshadowed in calls for tiered child mental health care involving digital tools in Brazil (Mari et al, 2021). BPT programs have been offered online in other countries with emerging empirical support (Döpfner et al, 2020;DuPaul et al, 2018;Williams & Beidas, 2019). Many Brazilians access information online with cell phones, which are widely available even amongst low-income communities (de Araujo & Reinhard, 2019;Nemer, 2018).…”

Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a debilitating condition affecting children and their families worldwide. Behavioral parent training is the only empirically supported non-pharmacological intervention for young children with mild to moderate ADHD. However, access to such treatment is limited in many countries. Here we identify the treatment needs of Brazilian families with children demonstrating symptoms of ADHD, and the barriers families face in accessing behavioral treatment. A qualitative needs assessment was undertaken with parents (n = 23), educators (n = 15), and healthcare providers (n = 16). Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted, and common themes were identified through inductive coding of participants’ responses. Participants reported a lack of accessible behavioral treatment, together with delays in accessing treatment when available. The majority of parents had not received behavioral parent training, despite it being a recommended form of treatment. Parents, educators and healthcare strongly endorsed a need for practical tools to manage the behavior of children with ADHD. Existing services are not meeting the needs of children with ADHD and their families in Brazil. Easily accessed behavioral parent training programs are recommended to address the identified treatment gap for Brazilian children with ADHD and their families.
