Effectiveness of a Virtual Reality Serious Video Game (The Secret Trail of Moon) for Emotional Regulation in Children With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: Randomized Clinical Trial

Music can help modulate these emotional states besides facilitating flow and immersion while playing video games [25]. Particularly in ADHD, music can be beneficial in reducing environmental distraction, especially in monotonous tasks [25,26]. Elements of music therapy have been both passively and interactively incorporated into this new version of the game [25,27].

Studies show that there is an association between music preferences and drug abuse patterns, focusing on heavy metal music as an example.

Impact of Dance or Music and Meditation on the Progression of Parkinson Disease With Mild or Moderate Severity: Protocol for a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

It is seen that alternative therapies such as music, dance, and mindfulness might help delay the progression of PD symptomatology while improving the quality of life (Qo L) [11,12]. In addition, therapies such as exercise and aerobic dance can have neuroprotective effects led by neuroplasticity [13]. Exercise is further seen to modulate dopamine neurotransmission [14]. It has been observed that music modulates the brain regions related to movement, behavior, and cognitive processes [15].

Analyzing the Influence of Video Game and Music Engagement on Technical Skills Acquisition in Dental Students in Preclinical Phase: Protocol for a Prospective, Controlled, Longitudinal Study

Analyzing the Influence of Video Game and Music Engagement on Technical Skills Acquisition in Dental Students in Preclinical Phase: Protocol for a Prospective, Controlled, Longitudinal Study

Assignment of the subject to the “music players” group if the student describes an hourly habit of using a musical instrument based on 0-60 minutes per week for occasional players, 61-300 minutes per week for moderate players, or more than 300 minutes per week for regular players. These values are used to be consistent with those used to define a video game player profile. The methods used in other studies to define a music player were either too subjective or too complicated to implement.

Effects of Background Music on Attentional Networks of Children With and Without Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: Case Control Experimental Study

The intervention required participants to perform an attention task in 2 different conditions: with music and without music. The music selection comprised 5 songs chosen through interviews with children aged 10 to 12 years, who shared their favorite and most frequently listened-to songs. These songs were played during the test. It is important to note that the children interviewed about their favorite music were not necessarily participants in the study.

Effectiveness of a Serious Video Game (MOON) for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Protocol for a Randomized Clinical Trial

Effectiveness of a Serious Video Game (MOON) for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Protocol for a Randomized Clinical Trial

Some studies show promising results with cognitive training [21], metacognitive interventions [22], music [23], and video games [24]. However, the overall results show small effect sizes and difficulties in maintaining long-term benefits and transferability to daily life (generalizability and transferability) [25]. More evidence is needed with greater control of risk biases. Video games provide immersive and engaging entertainment experiences.
