Filter by:The primary goal of the proposed project is to test the feasibility of parent and teacher/childcare providers use of the ADHD web portal-integrated behavioral treatment modules with preschool children with ADHD in order to improve the access to and the integrity of evidence-based behavioral treatment strategies for young children with ADHD.
The purpose of this study is to assess vitamin D as a therapeutic adjunct in the stimulant treatment of ADHD.
Attention Deficit Disorder with or without Hyperactivity (ADD / H) is a public health problem since it has short and long-term consequences, affects about 5% of children of school age but remains unknown and therefore under- diagnostic. The investigator will performed a controlled and randomized research to compare the effects of two neurofeedback protocols on the repercussions of Attention Deficit AD / Hyperactivity Disorder (HD) symptoms, in particular the hyperactivity on which the improvements reported in the literature are less with usual protocols.
This is a prospective observational study of a cohort of children diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and followed with weekly assessments during the first 12 weeks of Methylphenidate (MPH) treatment, and after three years. The overall aim is to gain knowledge in order to develop guidelines for more individualized treatments with (MPH), obtain a better drug response, and reduce the risk of adverse reactions, in order to improve adherence and long-term outcome.
Attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder. The common diagnostic of ADHD is based on psychiatric examination and interview. So far, there is not any other diagnostic tool for ADHD nowadays. Therefore, virtual reality (VR) technology can be used as a stimulus, replacing real stimuli, recreating experiences, which are in the real world would be impossible. Consequently, ADHD-VR diagnostic tool development should be started to justify the ADHD diagnosis in psychiatric out-patient clinical services.
The aim of this study was to develop an Indonesian computer-based game prototype that targets the clinical symptoms of ADHD as well as executive function and to investigate effectiveness through fMRI BOLD examination. This was a mix-method study design; the first step was an exploratory qualitative study using focused group discussion. The second step was 'the one group pre- and post-test design study' without any control. Ten primary school children who were drug-naïve and had a diagnosis of ADHD with no other mental or physical disorders participated in the study. Clinical improvement was measured by the CATPRS, BRIEF, and fMRI BOLD examination that focused on DLPFC-Hippocampus functional connectivity before and after 20 sessions of the Indonesian computer-based game prototype training. Data were analyzed using the paired t test and Pearson's correlation in SPSS for Mac version 21, and fMRI BOLD functional analysis was performed using SPM software version 12 and CONN Toolbox version 17. The hypothesis was: the Indonesian computer-based game prototype had an effect towards ADHD clinical symptoms and executive function that correlated with DLPFC-Hippocampus functional connectivity.
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders, with a pooled worldwide prevalence of 7.2% among children. Although medication and behavioral therapy, have been shown to be effective for reducing core symptoms, about 30% of patients with ADHD would not achieve the treatment response and symptomatic remission. Additionally, some children can experience sides effects related to medication. Therefore, other psychological approaches such as Mindfulness based interventions (MBIs) have been designed for the management of ADHD. Recent research showed that ADHD is associated with autonomic nervous system dysregulation, characterized by reduced vagally mediated-HRV, in response to a task demand. HRV is an accurate, non-invasive, cost-effective quantitative biomarker of autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity. There is evidence that MBIs could significantly reduce ADHD core symptoms and may enhance HRV through increased parasympathetic modulation. No studies have jointly examined the differential effect of MBIs on ADHD core symptoms, task related-HRV and mood. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a single-session of mindfulness based cognitive training on CVC, core symptoms and mood in children and adolescents with ADHD, aged 6 y-17y, referred to an outpatient Romanian Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Unit by mental health professionals, teachers and/or parents.
Around 7.2% of children around the world are suffering from ADHD. On account of current medical treatment, a high remission rate can be reached for ADHD. Nevertheless, patients have to face a number of side effects associated with the treatment. It was informed that patients of ADHD have a tendency to vitamin A and vitamin D deficiency. The aim of the study is to determine the effect of vitamin A and vitamin D supplementation as adjunctive therapy to methylphenidate on symptoms of ADHD. 504 subjects aged 6-12 years with a diagnosis of ADHD based on DSM-5 criteria are randomly assigned into three groups to receive vitamin A 6000 IU/day and vitamin D 2100 IU/day, or vitamin D 2100 IU/day or placebo adding to methylphenidate for 8 weeks. Symptoms severity is assessed by Vanderbilt Assessment Scales and Questionnaire - Children with Difficulties at weeks 0, 4, and 8. Serum levels of retinol and 25(OH)D are measured at baseline and after 8 weeks. All the other sociodemographic data are assessed. The study can give more references on the application of vitamin A and vitamin D in addition to methylphenidate to ADHD. Future research is needed to clarify mechanism of vitamin A and vitamin D on ADHD.
Aim: To evaluate the effects of MPH on young adults diagnosed with ADHD on different exercise performance tests. Hypothesis: MPH will have positive effects on motor tests requiring concentration. Methods: 200 healthy physical education students, 100 participants diagnosed with ADHD will serve as the treatment group and 100 non-ADHD diagnosed will serve as a control group. The study will be divided into two sub studies (100 participants each), in which, two motor tests will be evaluated (two agility tests, two motor accuracy tests and balance). All participants will arrive for two sessions, and will perform two motor tests in each session. In the second session, half of the participants with ADHD (25 participants) will undergo another session of the same motor tests with their usual treatment (treatment group) and another half (25 participants) without their treatment (ADHD control group). The non-ADHD control group (50 participants) will perform the second session without medications - to assess a learning effect. Note, the investigators are not planning on giving the medication to the participant, rather he/she will consume their own prescribed MPH by them self. Control treatment for ADHD participants will consist of not taking their medication before the motor test. For evaluation of physiological responses and perception of effort, heart rate, temperature, blood pressure and RPE before and after motor tests, will be measured.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by carelessness, hyperactivity and impulsivity, in which genetic, social and physical factors play an important role. Few studies have revealed the physical activity levels and importance of children with ADHD, but there is no consensus on the components of the physical activity program such as intensity, frequency, and severity. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of combined exercise training on motor proficiency, physical fitness and cognitive status in children with ADHD.
