Filter by:Behavioural parent training (BPT) is a front-line treatment for children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) that teaches parents how to support their child and manage behaviour. Parents of children with ADHD who have their own elevated ADHD/depressive symptoms may be less likely connect/engage and benefit from BPT. The current study modifies a BPT program that specifically addresses peer difficulties as these are common in children with ADHD. The goal of the modifications is to enhance the treatment process (how much parents connect and engage with the treatment) for parents with elevated ADHD/depressive symptoms. The Investigators will test whether this intervention increases parent engagement/connection to the program and whether it improves parenting behaviour.
Access to evidence-based psychosocial interventions, particularly Behavioral Parent Training (BPT), for youth with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is limited. An approach to increasing such access is to utilize trained paraprofessionals (Family Peer Advocates; FPAs) in the delivery of BPT, particularly through modalities, like telehealth, that further improve access and availability. This approach, FPA-delivered BPT via telehealth has yet to be studied. This study will evaluate the benefits of a FPA-delivered BPT for parents of children identified with ADHD in Developmental Behavioral Pediatric (DBPs).
Aim: To examine if parental emotion regulation (ER) moderates the response to parent training interventions. H1: Reduced parental ER capacity will predict diminished efficacy for behavioral parent training to improve negative parenting behavior (NPB) and behavior problems in offspring with ADHD. H2: Increased parental emotional reactivity will predict diminished efficacy for behavioral parent training to improve negative parenting behavior (NPB) and behavior problems in offspring with ADHD.
The objective of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of an at-home, game-based digital therapy for treating adult patients with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
A Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, fixed-dose, parallel-group efficacy and safety study in a pediatric population (6-17) with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) using CTx-1301 (d-MPH). The study will be comprised of a screening period, a double-blind randomized phase, and a safety follow-up visit.
Adults with Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) experience poor occupational performance at work compare to adults without ADHD, manifested at tendencies toward unemployment, job instability, work accidents, and sickness absences. This poor occupational performance at work may be partly caused by difficulties at executive functions (EF) abilities, and at the ability to set and attain goal directed work-activities at a satisfactory manner. Therefore, improvement at those abilities may followed by occupational performance at work enhancement of adults with ADHD. Such improvement may enhance adults with ADHD quality of life. Despite the wide-ranging implications of poor occupational performance at work of adults with ADHD, treatments which focus at this component improvement among adults with ADHD are lack. The Metacognitive ADHD Telehealth intervention for Work-performance Enhancement (Work-MATE) is an innovative program that aim to improve occupational performance at work of adults with ADHD, by enhancing their EF abilities, self-awareness, and personal strategy use. This program was established based on existing fundamental models and approach, (1) The World Health Organization's international classification of functioning, disability and health (ICF) (WHO, 2001), (2) Person-Environment-Occupation-Performance model (Baum, Christiansen, & Bass-Haugen, 2015) (3) The Dynamic Interactional Model of cognition (DIM; Toglia, 2018) and the Multicontex approach (Toglia, 2018) which based on the it, and (4) Telehealth as service-delivering model. The Work-MATE aim to promote self-awareness and self-generation of personal strategies and increase efficiency strategy use across meaningful purposeful everyday work activities (i.e., goal directed work-activities). It is a short, synchronous and hybrid teleintervention program of eleven 1-hour weekly individual sessions, focused directly on occupational performance at work enhancement of adults with ADHD.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common chronic neurodevelopmental disorder. Around 7.2% of children around the world are suffering from ADHD, while a chinese meta-analysis shows that the prevalence is 6.28%. There is no study of ADHD prevalence have used population-based samples, and depending on Vanderbilt ADHD Diagnostic Parent Rating Scale (VADPRS), in Chongqing, China. The purpose of the study is to investigate the prevalence of ADHD in school-age children and the parenting stress of parents of ADHD children in Chongqing. According to the proportion of primary school students in the four regions of Chongqing, using stratified proportional random sampling, 6480 primary school students are proposed to be selected as the research object, and questionnaires will complete by their caregivers and class teachers. VADPRS is used to evaluate the prevalence. Caregiver strain questionnaire (CGSQ) was used to assess parenting stress. Because of the nature of ADHD and the seriousness of its consequences, the periodic estimation of the prevalence of ADHD has been a critical research aim. This study can not only evaluate the prevalence of ADHD and parenting stress of parents of children with ADHD, but also use campus screening to promote parents and teachers' understanding of ADHD and improve the treatment rate.
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) is highly prevalent among children and adolescents and often associated with poor long-term outcomes in adulthood. it is thus a serious public health problem. Methylphenidate(MPH) and Atomoxetine(ATX) are most frequently used for treating ADHD in many countries but the individual treatment response varies. Some patients present good response to either MPH or ATX with minimal or no symptoms left and optimal functioning(remission) after treatment, while others are poor responders to one of the two or even both. The underlying mechanism for the heterogenous responsiveness remains unknown. Thus we proposed to use multimodule magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) technology to explore the neural mechanisms of remission in children with ADHD treated with MPH or ATX.
ADHD is the most frequent neuro-developmental disorder in childhood and often continues into adolescence and adulthood. Indicated drug treatments for ADHD fall into 2 categories: stimulants (such as methylphenidate and amphetamines) and non-stimulants (such as atomoxetine, guanfacine and clonidine) but some persons cannot tolerate their secondary effects or find them non-effective. In the last decade, medical cannabis products have been researched as possible treatment for neurological and mental diseases such as: Post trauma disorder (PTD), autism (ASD), epilepsy, fibromyalgia (FM) and more. Data on the effects of cannabidiol rich cannabis extract use for ADHD seems promising but is still limited. The aim of this study is to investigate if oral cannabinoids given to adults with ADHD affect the symptoms of the disorder. The main objectives of the study are: 1) to characterize the effects of treatment with cannabis oil on symptoms of ADHD; 2) to compare safety and efficacy of cannabis oil products with different CBD,Cannabidivarin (CBDV), cannabigerol (CBG) and THC ratio; 3) and to measure endocannabinoids, THC and CBD and metabolites levels in the blood of the participants. In this study, participants diagnosed with ADHD will be treated with canabidiol-rich cannabis oil and will follow up weekly during approx.1 month (the study period). Blood tests will be performed before and after treatment. Blood tests include blood count, blood chemistry, hormones profile, phyto- and endo- cannabinoids and their metabolites. Test of Variables of Attention test (TOVA) will be administrated before and after treatment
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders with heterogeneous clinical features such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It has been shown that one-third of children with ADHD have problems with tasks that require fine and gross motor skills. In addition, it was stated that the motor skill problems experienced during dynamic balance tasks were more pronounced than typically developing children. The motor problems seen in children with ADHD may be caused by dysfunction in some related brain regions that delayed or impaired cerebellar development may contribute to the pathophysiology of ADHD. Motor imagery skills have been investigated as the underlying cause of motor impairment in children with ADHD and Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). Although it has shown that motor imagery is markedly impaired in children with DID; It has been stated that this situation is not clear in children with ADHD. Motor imagery is the mental thinking of a movement without actual movement being revealed. It has been reported that combined physical and mental programs applied at different rates, as well as motor imagery training without physical exercise, are effective in improving postural control. In a study conducted with children with DCD, it was shown that motor imagery training improves children's movement skills. In the treatment of ADHD, there are multidimensional treatment approaches that include medical and psychosocial interventions. Pharmacological treatments, including stimulant and non-stimulant drugs, are highly effective in reducing ADHD symptoms and the disruptive behaviours associated with them. Also, physical exercises are known to reduce ADHD symptoms. Exercise methods enable patients receiving drug therapy to respond better to drugs, it has been shown to improve cognitive functions in ADHD cases. In conclusion, the underlying aetiology of motor imagery skills and motor coordination and balance problems in ADHD is not clear. The use of telerehabilitation methods has become widespread due to the difficulties in conducting face-to-face treatment and follow-up processes during the pandemic process. In addition, there is no exercise program based on telerehabilitation and motor imagery in children with ADHD. This study aims to examine the effects of telerehabilitation-based exercise and motor imagery practices on ADHD symptoms and balance skills in children with ADHD.
