Filter by:Autism (ASD) is one of the frequent neurodevelopmental disorders that children would occur. Many studies have shown that individuals with Autism are more common to experience significant gastrointestinal problems than other individuals. Symptoms include constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain and gastric reflux. A recent study with 50 children with ASD, 50 children with other developmental disabilities and 50 healthy control children, it found that 70% of ASD children had presented with GI symptoms, compared with 42% of developmental disabilities children and 28% of developing children, it is believed that ASD children will have a distinctive microbial pattern in the stool. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is another neurodevelopmental and neurobehavioral disorder. A study found that ADHD individuals experience significantly higher rate of stomach pain and bowel problems than other control individuals. It is suggested that the microbiota in the stool of ADHD children might be different. Genetic study also found that if a child has a sibling with ADHD, the risk of developing ADHD is three to four times higher than that of children with siblings without ADHD.
Using stakeholder feedback (i.e., behavioral health providers & caregivers), the goal of this study is to develop a behavioral parenting program that focuses on both parent mental health and parenting for parents of toddlers (12-35 months old). Using a deployment focused intervention model, this study will : (1) develop an early parenting intervention for parents of at-risk toddlers which integrates a focus on parent mental health with evidence-based behavioral parenting strategies, and (2) examine context-specific factors related to the intervention, including feasibility and acceptability to design a more practice-ready intervention.
Attention Deficit Disorder with or without Hyperactivity (ADHD) is a frequent pathology in children that has important consequences on schooling both in terms of academic level (due to the attentional disorder) and behavior (disruption of the class). ADHD also has an impact on family functioning, which can generate stress and family altercations. The homework period can be a particularly tense time and a source of conflict with the child, which has negative consequences on the family atmosphere, learning efficiency and of course academic success. The investigators wish to evaluate an innovative digital device (a smartphone application) to accompany the child during homework periods.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of a customized head mold for reducing head motion during MRI scanning in young children.
This study will assess whether or not a novel executive working memory training intervention for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder can engage frontoparietal brain network treatment targets and behavioral performance.
This study develops and refines an online platform that will support clinician-directed behavioral and organizational skills intervention for adolescents with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) with input guided from key stakeholders during focus groups and interviews (phase 1), extended usability testing (phase 2), and a pilot randomized trial (phase 3) of the online tool used in conjunction with an organizational skills intervention.
The primary aim of this study is to examine the efficacy of a self-guided Internet-delivered intervention for coping with ADHD. The secondary aim is to investigate the effects of individual adaptation of the intervention on adherence, satisfaction and clinical outcomes.
Up to 72% of adolescents with ADHD portray sleep problems. The most common sleep difficulties in adolescents with ADHD are initial insomnia, nocturnal awakenings, non-restorative or restless sleep. These difficulties seem to be causally related to increased ADHD symptom impairment, oppositional and depressive symptomatology, and functional impairments in daily life, resulting in a vicious circle of sleep problems and impairment. Thus, reducing sleep problems is an important intervention target. However, to date there is no evidence-based cognitive behavioral sleep treatment available. Sleep-focused treatments need adaptation towards this developmental phase/disorder for effectiveness, as ADHD and sleep problems are bi-directional. Therefore, a blended treatment targeting the core deficits integrating motivational interviewing, planning skills and sleep interventions is needed. Thus, the aim of this project is testing the short and 3 months follow-up effectiveness of the blended CBT sleep intervention in adolescents with ADHD.
This is a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo- and active-controlled 4 period, 4 way crossover study to assess the intranasal abuse potential of manipulated ADAIR formulation in nondependent, recreational stimulant users. The study will consist of an outpatient Screening Visit, an in clinic Qualification Phase, an in-clinic Treatment Phase, and an outpatient Follow-Up visit.
Behavioral parent training is an evidence-based treatment for ADHD. The intervention can be implemented individually, or in groups. Currently, group-based parent training programs require considerable coordination, including ascertainment of a large physical space, the coordination of all families traveling to the same location at the same time, and the require for the provision of childcare. Innovations in online connectivity and ease of implementation of online support applications (e.g., Zoom) may reduce these barriers. However, it is necessary to investigate the feasibility and promise of the online approach to ensure it supports parents effectively.
