Filter by:Low frequency repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation(rTMS) is a safe and tolerable procedure in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD); it also could be a complement to the treatment of patients with poor symptomatic control to conventional treatment.
This is an outpatient program for children and adolescents with bipolar disorders. The naturalistic approach of the program will allow a proper investigation of the disorder, assessment of environmental and biological factors, the conduction of treatment studies, and follow-up of the subjects.
The purpose of this study is to explore the therapeutic effects of Barkley's parenting management program for Taiwanese school-aged children with ADHD. The investigators hypothesized that Barkley's parenting management program might empower the parents' competence to manage their school-aged children's ADHD-related disturbing behaviors as its previously-proven effects for parents and their preschool-aged children with ADHD.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether norepinephrine gene polymorphism affect to treatment response in ADHD
The aim of the study is to evaluate the immediate effect of rTMS on attention in adults diagnosed with ADHD. the design is a double blind sham controlled crossover study.
This study will determine the advantages and disadvantages of adding one of two different types of drugs to stimulant treatment for reducing aggressive behavior in children with attention deficit with hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Among children, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is associated with an increased risk for accidents, especially bicycle and pedestrian (Leibson 2001; Jensen 1988; DiScala 1998). Anywhere from 40% to 80% of children diagnosed with ADHD continue to display symptoms of the disorder into adolescence(Barkley 1990; Gittelman 1985). Adolescents with ADHD are also at an increased risk for driving-related accidents, being 2 to 4 times more likely to experience a motor vehicle accident (Barkley 1993; Barkley 1996; Cox 2000), 4 times as likely to be at fault in the accident (Barkley 1993), and over 3 times more likely to incur associated injuries as a result of the accident(Murphy 1996). Stimulant treatment with immediate-release methylphenidate (IR MPH) has been demonstrated to improve driving performance in adolescents with ADHD. Hypothesis to be Tested: - Main study: Just as stimulant medication improves simulation and on-road driving performance of ADHD teenagers, it is hypothesized that stimulant medication will improve routine driving performance. - Substudy - Extended wear (15 hours) of Daytrana will lead to safer driving late in the evening (22:00 and 01:00), when the most dangerous driving mishaps are most likely to occur, and the next morning at 09:00.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether motorcycle drivers with ADHD are at a greater risk for motorcycle accidents, and whether this risk can be mitigated by treatment with methylphenidate. We will evaluate the effectiveness of Methylphenidate on driving performance, among motorcycle drivers, and investigate the correlation between improvement of ADHD symptoms (inattention and impulsivity) and driving performance.
Determine if atomoxetine is safe and well tolerated by children with fetal alcohol syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether prolonged treatment with methylphenidate has any adverse effect on cardiac functions and measurements.
