Filter by:The purpose of this uncontrolled pilot study is to develop and make an initial evaluation of a new treatment manual for treatment of ADHD in adults. The objectives in the treatment is to build relational skills, skills in organizing and structuring everyday life, handle difficult emotions and impulses etc. The treatment will be in a group format and it is hypothesized that the psychological intervention will result in reduced ADHD symptoms and to decreased experience of stress and depressive symptoms. The uncontrolled design does not allow for any causal inferences from the results, this pilot study is primarily to be seen as a preparation before a subsequent RCT.
In the present study the aim is to examine whether transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) generated excitability changes and induce modifications of functional cortical architecture in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) patients. To achieve this, the investigators used an event-related potential (ERP) analysis based on 20 channel EEG recordings in ADHD subjects before and after bipolar tDCS-anode stimulation over F3/F4 or T5/T6 or P4/P3, during resting state and measure clinical scores and visual CPT tasks changes. Time courses and topography of independent component visual ERPs were compared before and after tDCS.
As the use of video games (VG) is rapidly increasing, many studies have tries to understand the effects of VG on the children and adolescents playing them. Most of the research was directed towards negative effects (especially violence, attention and school performance), producing mixed results. Recently, more studies had focused their attention on the opposite angle: The influence of the player's mental and behavioral parameters, influencing his VG playing patterns. The focus of most of these researches was time of playing, addictive patterns and exposure to violence. The current study will try to characterize the variance of VG playing pattern among adolescents diagnosed with psychiatric disorders, in order to better under the rich interaction between a player and his VG, and to understand whether VG playing patterns holds diagnostical clues for the child's diagnosis and his inner world.
Trauma-informed treatment will improve emotional regulation and behavior.
The purpose of this study is to determine how feedback and practice affect decision making in adolescents with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder. Participants will have to choose between low and certain outcome and a higher but uncertain outcome, with or without serial feedback after each trial. Participants will perform the task twice to examine practice effects.
The safety and efficacy of multiple dosages of TD-9855, administered once daily, will be evaluated in adult males with ADHD.
This research study is being done to examine how meditation and the relaxation response (RR) may change brain activity in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
The Female Experiences and Brain Activity study will investigate how different groups of people process information in different ways. Using electro-physiological methods it will investigate differences in brain activity between women with ADHD, women with bipolar disorder and those without a psychiatric illness. It will also investigate the relationship between patterns of brain activity, mood and functioning.
In this study the investigators will measure the functional brain activity of adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) patients, genotyped according to the COMT genotype, during a Working Memory Paradigm, before and after a placebo controlled treatment with MPH for 6 WEEKS. Within this design, the investigators will be able to evaluate the therapeutic effect of MPH treatment on cognitive functions.
This study is being conducted to enhance and extend the clinical utility of the Quotient® ADHD System Adolescent and Adult Version Test by adding large numbers of well-screened controls to the existing Quotient® ADHD System database of adolescents and adults (ages 15-55).
