Filter by:Forensic patients often display cognitive deficits, particularly in the domain of executive functions, that represent a challenge to forensic rehabilitation. One empirically-validated method to train executive functions is cognitive remediation, which consists of cognitive exercises combined with coaching. This trial investigates whether cognitive remediation can improve cognitive, functional, and clinical outcomes in forensic inpatients.
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that begins in childhood and can persist throughout adolescence and adulthood. ADHD affects persistently about 5% of children and adolescents and about 2.5% of adults worldwide. The cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has proven to be effective in significantly reducing ADHD-symptoms, maintaining the effects during follow-up. The aim of this study is to develop and validate a psychological treatment program for adult ADHD-patients consisting of six sessions based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and to study the effectiveness of the developed program in short and long term. A total of 90 patients will be randomized to two treatment groups (1:1). One group will receive 12 sessions of CBT and the other group six sessions of brief CBT. It is expected that the short-term effectiveness of a CBT psychological treatment program of six group sessions will be the same as the response to the CBT psychological treatment program of twelve group sessions in adult ADHD-patients with stable drug treatment.
This study will test whether a peer-delivered intervention for high school students with ADHD outperforms enhanced school services as usual. Ninth grade students with ADHD (N=72) will be randomly assigned to the intervention (summer STRIPES) or the enhanced school services control group (SSU plus). Students will be assessed in the spring of 8th grade, fall of ninth grade, and spring of ninth grade. Primary outcomes will be GPA, Class Attendance, Disciplinary Incidents, and ADHD symptoms (parent and teacher report).
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 project will study how fidgeting relates to cognitive and emotional functioning in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It will determine, in a laboratory setting, whether movement and access to a "fidget device" providing sensory and motor stimulation can improve cognitive and emotional regulation (including on physiological measures) in adult ADHD. The investigators will also acquire pilot data for machine learning analyses to be used in future, large scale studies to identify gestures and touch characteristics associated with improved cognitive and emotional regulation to see if the data can predict and subsequently develop recommendations to improve performance and emotional control in natural settings (e.g., home, office, college classroom) for adult ADHD.
This study intends to establish a relationship between oculovestibular eye tracking measures, measures of ADHD, and medication prescribed for ADHD.
The study is an investigation to determine co-morbid symptoms between adult major depressive disorder (MDD) and adult attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) using a novel statistical technique called network analysis.
The purpose of this open label study is to evaluate longer term tolerability and potential effectiveness of transcranial ultrasound in people with attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD).
To explore the effect of executive function family training for preschool children with ADHD, providing early social psychological intervention for aiming the core impairments of ADHD.
Children with neurodevelopmental disorders may show difficulties in self-regulation. The main objective of this study is to improve self-regulation skills in children between 6 and 11 years old with neurodevelopmental disorders. Methodology: A randomized controlled trial will be conducted with the use of "SF-MRehab: Un colegio emocionante", a non-inmersive virtual reality system where virtual objects can be managed by children in a natural way by using their hands. Children will be recruited from several schools from Granada (Spain) and they will be randomly allocated to two groups. Assessment will be conducted before and after the intervention as well as 24 weeks after the end of the intervention process. Experimental group will receive the intervention using virtual reality. Control group will receive the intervention through a standard self-regulation program. Both interventions will be performed once a week for a total of 10 sessions. Changes in self-regulation, as well as acceptability of technology with the use of SR-MRehab will be evaluated. The results will be published and will contribute with evidence regarding the use of this type of intervention on children with neurodevelopmental disorders
