Filter by:The present project will evaluate through a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) with 5-month follow-up, the efficacy (5-month time horizon), adjunctive to TAU, of three 8-week interventions: a) the Mindfulness for Health program (i. e., M4H), b) a Cognitive Training (CT) program through NeuronUp platform and a program combining both (Mindfulness and Cognitive Training program, i. e., UP4H), a, as compared to TAU, in children (7-12 years old) with ADHD. In order to evaluate stability of clinical changes and to determine the mechanisms of action of the interventions studied, pre-post changes and at 5-months followup after the start of treatment will be evaluated in ADHD symptoms (inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity), general functioning, clinical global impression, executive functions (verbal fluency, working memory, cognitive flexibility, inhibition), and comorbid symptoms (disruptive behavior, anxiety and depression) along with mindfulness skills. In the field of personalized treatment in ADHD, the design of the present study will also make it possible to establish whether certain baseline psychosocial and clinical characteristics may be associated with short- and medium-term clinical response to each of the treatments studied.
Study team members from El Futuro in Durham, North Carolina have created an intervention called El Faro. El Faro helps Latinx families of children with ADHD understand and cope with the stress and difficulties presented by the disorder. We propose to develop a community-engaged research partnership between El Futuro and the Duke ADHD Program that aims to pilot-test an adapted El Faro treatment.
The purpose of the study is to examine the developmental trajectory of response control in boys and girls with ADHD entering adolescence. The investigators also want to determine the developmental trajectory of brain anatomy and brain connectivity in boys and girls with ADHD entering adolescence.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CTx-1301 in children (6-12) with ADHD in a laboratory classroom setting.
This study is a pragmatic clinical trial examining the comparative effectiveness of two stimulant medications (methylphenidate and amphetamine) in the treatment of ADHD in children and adolescents with autism. Using a sequential, multiple assignment randomization trial (SMART) design the study will not only assess these two medications but also the role of an increasingly popular class of ADHD medication, the alpha-2 agonists. Findings from this study will help improve clinicians' approach to medication selection and reduce the repeated trials of multiple medications that are current standard care.
The study aims to explore the effectiveness of neurofeedback training on improving attention and inhibitory control of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in Hong Kong. This study will contribute to the current understanding of the alternative treatments for ADHD, and hopefully help to mobilize more resources to support children with ADHD. The programme includes the following components: Participants will be randomly assigned to the neurofeedback training group (with virtual reality [VR] technology applied), the computerized cognitive training group, or the waitlist control group. All participants will complete a total of 16 training sessions in 8 weeks (twice a week), and each session will last around 35 to 60 mins. To investigate the intervention effectiveness, children will be asked to complete a set of cognitive tests covering inhibitory control, attention, and working memory prior to the intervention (i.e., Time 1), immediately after the 8-week training (i.e., Time 2), and 2 months after the training (i.e., Time 3, a 2-month follow up). The assessment will take around 1 hour and it will be conducted at the laboratory at the University of Hong Kong. Also, parents and teachers will be asked to complete a questionnaire assessing children's behaviours at home and schools at 3 timepoints.
This study will be investigating two telehealth interventions for preschoolers with ADHD. The study is divided into two Aims. During Aim 1, caregivers of preschoolers with attention concerns, pediatric behavioral health professionals, and pediatric primary care providers will take part in two virtual focus groups to provide their perspective on ways to improve the telehealth intervention being evaluated.
This is a virtual, single-arm clinical trial that will last 28 days. Participants will drink 1 bottle of Proper Wild energy shot daily and complete questionnaires at baseline, day 1, day 14, and day 28. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)-like symptoms, such as concentration, focus, and attention, will be evaluated at baseline and at each check-in. Likert scale responses will be examined from baseline to each check-in. Participant responses on product feedback will be presented as % scores.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterized by difficulties paying attention, poor impulse control, and hyperactive behaviors. It is associated with several health and social detrimental outcomes and leads to increased risks of criminality and recidivism. However, to date, ADHD treatment has been neglected in prison. This project will test the efficacy of ADHD treatment using a randomized controlled trial.
Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) is linked to three main symptoms: hyperactivity, inattention and impulsivity. It is increasingly being acknowledged that these symptoms have a wide-reaching impact on a person's life. Adolescents with ADHD are six times more likely to be excluded from school, have difficulties turn taking, express anger more often, have poorer emotion regulation and self-report a lower quality of life. In adulthood, people with ADHD are more likely to develop mental health difficulties, and to experience unemployment, divorce and be imprisoned. It is thought that emotion regulation and poor social skills are key factors leading to increases in mental health difficulties and poorer long term social outcomes. This pilot trial will look at whether an intervention which aims to increase emotion regulation and social functioning is acceptable and feasible. The intervention will be an adapted Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills group with an ADHD focus. DBT is an approach that aims to provide skills to assist an individual identify what they are feeling and change what they do in response to that feeling. For example, if an individual feels anger and the urge to be aggressive, DBT helps them to problem solve and find a more effective way of responding to their anger. Also, if an individual wants to communicate a relational need to others DBT helps them think about the most effective actions they can take to achieve this outcome. The intervention will be developed in collaboration with adolescents with ADHD. The intervention will then be delivered at the child and adolescent outpatient clinic site they received their diagnosis from. All participants will have a confirmed diagnosis of ADHD. Pre and post measures will be collected and reported on. The research team hope to commence recruitment in July 2023 and finish all data collection by 31st March 2024.
