ADHD Treatment: Video Game Therapy at Tampa Clinic.
A video game called EndeavorRx has been approved by the FDA as a therapy for children aged 8 to 12 with ADHD. The game helps stimulate a child’s prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for attention and decision-making. Clinical trials have shown that almost half of children who used the game five days a week over two, four-week treatment periods showed improved attention. The game is used in conjunction with medication and is a great option for patients that have struggled with medication side effects or that may have a desire to reduce reliance on prescription medication.
