Abstract:Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder( ADHD) affects about 5% of children worldwide. The low compliance, effectiveness, tolerance and availability of the existing treatment( drug treatment, psychotherapy, etc.) are the problems faced by the treatment of ADHD. Based on the age characteristics of children patients, game therapy is more acceptable. As an alternative to traditional therapy, video game has the potential to improve the symptoms of children with ADHD and make up for the deficiencies of traditional therapy. In 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration( FDA) approved the first video game, Endeavor Rx (AKL-T01), as a prescription drug for Children with ADHD between 8 and 12. Video games were officially included in clinical treatment. This article mainly reviews the further details of the application of video game therapy in children with ADHD.
