Filter by:The primary aim of the present research project is to examine the feasibility, as measured by treatment perceptions, and tolerability, as measured by adherence and attrition, of two weeks of flashed light therapy alone followed by four weeks of daily flashed light therapy combined with four weekly videoconference-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy sessions targeting circadian rhythms and sleep in four adolescents aged 14 to 17 years with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and delayed sleep-wake schedules.
The purpose of the current open-lable study was to use low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to improve the attention deficits in a sample of adult patients suffering from attention deficit disorder. Participants received 10 sessions of rTMS over Fz (located using the EEG 10-20 international system) and underwent assessments of their attentional capacity using the gradCPT task in an fMRI scanner, before and after the intervention. Other behavioral assessments of their attention symptoms have also been conducted.
Diagnosis of Language Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is difficult for several reasons. This study aims to establish a Chinese multi-center cohort for the early diagnosis of language disorder and ADHD in children, develop appropriate early assessment tools and formulate intervention programs and standards for early functional training. Based on a national multi-center research team with Chongqing, Shanghai, and Beijing as the core areas, the investigators established a specific disease cohort for early diagnosis of language disorder and ADHD: a specific disease cohort with language disorder (900 cases) who were 1-3 years when the follow-up started, and 4-6 years old at the end of follow-up; a specific cohort with ADHD (1200 cases) who were 3-6 years when the follow-up started, and 7-9 years old at the end of follow-up. At the time of enrollment, professional assessments such as clinical development indicators and neurological function indicators were assessed using functional near-infrared spectroscopy(fNIRS). Outcome measures were speech impairment and hyperactivity. Blood samples were taken from 600 speech-impaired patients and 800 ADHD patients. Of these, 800 ADHD subjects completed an fNIRS imaging task. Build an intelligent brain image big data analysis system to realize early quality control, processing, and analysis of brain images, and study objective markers for early disease detection. The investigators can use machine learning and applications for early diagnosis, developing big data analysis tools such as integrated clinical assessment and brain imaging, promoting comprehensive clinical assessment and big data analysis tools systems such as brain imaging, and building assessment tools for language disorders and ADHD. Through the implementation and results of the multi-center special disease cohort platform, evidence-based medical evidence is collected to form clinical standards and guidelines.
Children in primary school often suffer from lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), which may negatively impact their overall well-being. Co-occurring neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) can adversely affect children as well and can cause restrictions in their daily life, especially in their school-environment. The goal of this observational study is to identify the prevalence of LUTS in Flemish primary school children.The main questions it aims to answer are: - How prevalent are LUTS in regular primary education? - Is there a relation with well-being in school environment? - Is there an influence of co-occuring NDDs? Children, parents and teachers will be asked to fill in questionnaires related to this research question.
Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent symptoms of attention deficit and/or hyperactivity/impulsivity . Currently, the first line drugs for treating ADHD are central stimulants such as Tomoxetine and Guanfaxine. However, there is a risk of drug abuse and misuse, which often affects sleep and appetite, only 50% of patients can fully tolerate. This project uses the iTBS stimulation on weekends, children with ADHD finish scale evaluation, magnetic resonance imaging analysis, and cognitive function before and after stimulation, This study explores its therapeutic effect on attention deficit in children and adolescents with ADHD.
Title: Parent-administered pediatric tuina for improving sleep quality and appetite in school-aged children with ADHD: a pilot randomized controlled trial Background: Pediatric tuina has been used and explored by many researchers and clinicians as a topical complementary and alternative treatment for ADHD, which can compensate for some of the shortcomings of medications and behavioural therapies, such as the side effects of medications and the financial stress of long-term behavioural therapies. Pediatric tuina can also grasp the golden stage of young children and improve their symptoms in time on the basis of TCM pattern identification and holistic concepts. We once conducted a focus group interview on 15 parents to understand the effects of parent-administered pediatric tuina on ADHD symptoms, and all parents reported that parent-administered pediatric tuina significantly improved the child's sleep quality, eating habits, and parent-child relationship within a short period of time after receiving the intervention. Objective: This study aims to assess the preliminary effects, feasibility, and safety of parent-administered pediatric tuina for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in school-aged children. Methods: This project is a three-arm, parallel, open-label, pilot RCT. Sixty participants were randomized into three groups at a 1:1:1 ratio. Parents in the parent-administered tuina group (n = 20) will attend a face-to-face training program on pediatric tuina for ADHD and conduct this intervention on their children at home. Parents in the parent-child interaction group (n = 20) will attend face-to-face training about parent-child interactive exercises and carry them out with their children at home. Both interventions will be carried out every other day during a two-month intervention period, with each manipulation for at least 25-30 min. Participants in the waitlist group (n=20) will not receive both interventions during the intervention period. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, week 4, and week 8. The primary outcome measure was the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children; the secondary outcomes included Children's Eating Behaviour Questionnaire, Conners Parent Rating Scale, and Child Health Questionnaire. A process evaluation will be embedded within the outcome evaluation. Descriptive statistics for sociodemographic variables and clinical variables will be presented. Data will be presented as mean and standard deviation. The feasibility outcomes will be presented as percentages. The rating scale scores between the intervention groups and the control group in week 4 and week 8 will be compared using a linear mixed-effects model. Recorded interviews will be transcribed verbatim and analyzed using content analysis. Depending on the topic and purpose of the study, the interview was categorized into words or sentences with the help of the qualitative research tool Nvivo.
The objective of the study will be to understand whether a supplementation of the diet with an active symbiotic, i.e. characterized by a mix of probiotics and a specially selected fiber with prebiotic activity combined with a vegetable extract with beneficial activities on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, can reduce the relative inflammatory potential and improve absorption, intestinal motility and bowel habit of patients with various pathological conditions, such as ALS, ADHD and bronchial asthma.
The EndeavorRx Prospective Product Registry aims to collect real world data from participants receiving the digital therapeutic, EndeavorRx, under conditions of routine clinical practice.
Objective: Emotion dysregulation is common among children with ADHD and associated with a broad range of adult psychopathology, which is similar to the longitudinal outcomes of childhood irritability. However, the profiles of irritability in children with ADHD and emotion dysregulation has been understudied. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of methylphenidate and aripiprazole in the treatment of irritability in children with ADHD and emotion dysregulation. In addition, the clinical profiles and neuropsychological characteristics of irritability in children with ADHD were explored.
FOCUS (Forward Treatment of Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Using Solriamfetol) is a Phase 3, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel- group trial to assess the efficacy and safety of solriamfetol in adults with ADHD.
