Effectiveness of different digital interventions on symptoms for children and adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: a network meta-analysis
To systematically compare the efficacy of various digital interventions on core symptoms in children and adolescents diagnosed with ADHD through a network meta-analysis.
Key Findings:
Digital interventions significantly improved inattention (SMD = -0.44, 95% CI (-0.62, -0.26)) and hyperactivity-impulsivity (SMD = -0.26, 95% CI (-0.41, -0.12)) compared to control conditions.
Improvements in executive function did not reach statistical significance (SMD = -0.41, 95% CI (-0.85, 0.02)).
Neurofeedback showed the highest relative SUCRA value (79.4%) for improving inattentive symptoms.
Computer-based cognitive tasks had the highest SUCRA value (76.1%) for hyperactive/impulsive behaviors.
Mobile gaming applications demonstrated the highest SUCRA value (72.9%) for enhancing executive function.
Interpretation:
Limitations:
Methodological heterogeneity among existing studies.
Limited number of relevant publications included in the analysis.
Conclusion:
Caution is warranted in interpreting the conclusions due to the methodological diversity and limited studies.
