Clinical Trial Summary

The proposed study will replicate target engagement as assessed in the first phase while also determining if it correlates with clinically meaningful improvements in ADHD dysfunction


Clinical Trial Description

This proposal is a 3-year clinical trial study replicating an R61 study that targeted brain engagement in 62 ADHD diagnosed adolescents. This study will recruit n=130 adolescents, n=90 ADHD, 40 non-ADHD. The ADHD group will be randomized to a 'sham training' placebo or to train 4 times each week using 4 different EWM exercises that have been combined into the format of a typical cognitive training intervention. Exercise difficulty levels in the active intervention will increase across 5 weeks to continually challenge EWM ability. EWM training will use a novel, remotely-supervised 'at home' computerized training approach that was developed in the Phase I study. This study will attempt to establish a convincing link between the hypothesized targets found in Phase I and ADHD symptom expression. It also will characterize ADHD brain activity or EWM ability changes relative to typical levels seen in the n=40 non-ADHD control group. ;
