Filter by:The goal of this proposal is to develop brain imaging tools to measure the effects of methylphenidate in children and adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methylphenidate is an FDA-approved treatment for ADHD. Specifically, the investigators will correlate brain activity during cognitive tasks and brain chemistry with cognitive performance. These measures could help the investigators understand how current ADHD medications work and then could be used to develop novel drugs to treat ADHD in children and adolescents.
The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between bupropion, stimulant use and relapse, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), and measures of mood, drug craving, and inhibitory control in individuals enrolled in inpatient treatment for stimulant-use disorder with and without ADHD. The experimenters hypothesize that Bupropion and Contrave (Bupropion/Naltrexone) will increase inhibitory control and decrease drug craving and depressive symptoms in recently abstinent stimulant users in inpatient treatment with effects greater than those seen in recently abstinent stimulant users completing inpatient treatment as usual. An additional hypothesis is that relapse rates after leaving inpatient treatment in the group receiving bupropion will be lower than those of the group completing inpatient treatment as usual. The study design consists of four assessments of drug craving, inhibitory control, impulsive choice, and mood (depression and anxiety). The timepoints for these assessments include: A. baseline after entering treatment B. 2 weeks after starting drug C. 8 weeks after starting drug, and D. 1 month after leaving treatment. Following eligibility screening, 60 stimulant users will be enrolled in one of 3 groups. Group 1 Bupropion Active Group: 20 subjects will receive bupropion for 8 weeks during inpatient treatment. Group 2 Contrave Active Group: 20 subjects will receive Contrave for 8 weeks during inpatient treatment. Group 3 Control Group: 20 subjects enrolled in inpatient treatment will complete treatment as usual as well as the four assessments (A-D) described above but will not receive drug (convenience control). Half of the subjects in each group will be diagnosed with ADHD and half will not, for a total of 10 subjects per group with ADHD.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of SPN-812, an extended-release formulation of viloxazine, compared to placebo in children in an analog classroom setting.
DELPhI acquisition and analysis software, a QuantalX Neuroscience development, which is designed to measure, analyze, and display brain electrical activity of human electroencephalogram (EEG), to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), will be used to evaluate different psychiatric conditions.
The primary aim of this study is to assess the predictability of treatment response to stimulants in adults with ADHD using functional magnetic resonance This study will be a six-week, open-label study including adults ranging from age 18-55 with ADHD.
This is a 12-week clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of memantine hydrochloride (Memantine HC1, brand name Namenda) in the treatment of executive function deficits (EFDs) in adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). After screening procedures, memantine is prescribed in randomized, double-blind fashion (equal chance of medication or placebo) for 12 weeks. The investigators hypothesize that memantine hydrochloride will prove to be an effective, safe, and well-tolerated agent for the treatment of EFDs in individuals with ADHD interested in non-stimulant medications.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of SPD489 compared to placebo in adolescent subjects (13-17 years of age inclusive) with ADHD in the analog classroom setting based on the Permanent Product Measure of Performance (PERMP) total score assessed across 2, 4, 9, 13, 14, and 15 hours post-dose on the last day of each double-blind crossover period.
