Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of the treatment of cognitive therapy software 'NDTx-01' compared to TAU (Treatment-As-Usual).

Detailed Description

This confirmatory clinical trial aims to demonstrate the superiority of 'NDTx-01' by comparing and evaluating the efficacy and safety of the experimental group applying 'NDTx-01' with TAU (Treatment-As-Usual) and the control group applying TAU only.

The study participants will be randomized in a 1:1 as experimental group and control group. The experimental group applies 'NDTx-01' 30 times for 6 weeks (5 times a week) with TAU and the control group gets TAU only. For the primary purpose, the change in the adaptive behavior combination (ABC) score of the Korean version of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale-II (K-VABS-II) at 42 days compared to the baseline will be evaluated.
