Filter by:This study is the first to systematically evaluate the efficacy of single and combined academic accommodation, behavioral treatment, and medication treatment in a large sample of children with ADHD. Using a scientifically rigorous, cross-over design the impact of these approaches on ecologically valid measures of outcome (on-task behavior, quiz scores, academic productivity) will be assessed to inform effective school intervention.
This is the first nationwide study using Transcranial Pulse Stimulation to evaluate its efficacy and safety on 30 young adolescents with ADHD. Six verum/ shamTPS sessions will be delivered to all subjects on a 1: 1 ratio, balanced by gender and age. Attention deficit, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and oppositional defiance will be the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes include ADHD severity, frequency of inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, executive function and neural connectivity changes via neuroimaging. Results emerging from this study will generate new knowledge to ascertain whether TPS can be used as a top-on treatment in ADHD.
Behavioural parent training (BPT) is a front-line treatment for children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) that teaches parents how to support their child and manage behaviour. Parents of children with ADHD who have their own elevated ADHD/depressive symptoms may be less likely connect/engage and benefit from BPT. The current study modifies a BPT program that specifically addresses peer difficulties as these are common in children with ADHD. The goal of the modifications is to enhance the treatment process (how much parents connect and engage with the treatment) for parents with elevated ADHD/depressive symptoms. The Investigators will test whether this intervention increases parent engagement/connection to the program and whether it improves parenting behaviour.
Aim: To examine if parental emotion regulation (ER) moderates the response to parent training interventions. H1: Reduced parental ER capacity will predict diminished efficacy for behavioral parent training to improve negative parenting behavior (NPB) and behavior problems in offspring with ADHD. H2: Increased parental emotional reactivity will predict diminished efficacy for behavioral parent training to improve negative parenting behavior (NPB) and behavior problems in offspring with ADHD.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common chronic neurodevelopmental disorder. Around 7.2% of children around the world are suffering from ADHD, while a chinese meta-analysis shows that the prevalence is 6.28%. There is no study of ADHD prevalence have used population-based samples, and depending on Vanderbilt ADHD Diagnostic Parent Rating Scale (VADPRS), in Chongqing, China. The purpose of the study is to investigate the prevalence of ADHD in school-age children and the parenting stress of parents of ADHD children in Chongqing. According to the proportion of primary school students in the four regions of Chongqing, using stratified proportional random sampling, 6480 primary school students are proposed to be selected as the research object, and questionnaires will complete by their caregivers and class teachers. VADPRS is used to evaluate the prevalence. Caregiver strain questionnaire (CGSQ) was used to assess parenting stress. Because of the nature of ADHD and the seriousness of its consequences, the periodic estimation of the prevalence of ADHD has been a critical research aim. This study can not only evaluate the prevalence of ADHD and parenting stress of parents of children with ADHD, but also use campus screening to promote parents and teachers' understanding of ADHD and improve the treatment rate.
The purpose of this study is to test whether a single session of brain stimulation (called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation [rTMS]) can improve the brain activity underlying 'working memory.' Working memory is the ability to hold information 'in mind' to complete daily activities. This study involves teenagers with ADHD as well as healthy young adults. It is funded by The COBRE Center for Neuromodulation (CCN) at Butler Hospital (Pilot Project)
The objective of this clinical trial is to examine whether non-invasive brain stimulation can modulate dysfunctional brain dynamics underlying adolescent ADHD to subsequently improve clinical symptoms.
The proposed study is to be carried out in 2021 - 2024 with youths aged 6 - 15 in Hong Kong. This is a randomized waitlist-controlled trial that aims to examine the effectiveness of the ADHD+ new service protocol. This ADHD+ new service protocol intervention will be delivered for 6 months in the format of groups by frontline social workers trained by professional clinicians including clinical psychologists and psychiatrists. It is designed to reduce ADHD and related symptoms in individuals aged between 6 and 15 years. Core treatment components include internet use/addiction intervention, cognitive training, emotion management, social skills training, occupational training, emotion support/befriending, parenting training, and career guidance. It is hypothesized that youths receiving the intervention will have reduced ADHD and related symptoms when compared with controls. Findings will allow the investigators to better understand the effectiveness of the new ADHD+ service; and in the long run, the service model can be generalized to community based early interventions for other uncomplicated mental disorders.
Studies in children and adolescents with Attention-Deficit-Hyperactivity-Disorder (ADHD) have shown that physical exercise can improve the core symptoms of ADHD; inattention and hyperactivity. For adults, the evidence is deficient and there is a great need to investigate whether adults have the same effect on ADHD symptoms of physical exercise, as children and young people have. Adults with ADHD often have a sedentary lifestyle and suffer from obesity and have sleep problems. In a normal population, these problems have been shown to be affectable with physical exercise. START (Support in Activity, Movement and Exercise) is a randomized controlled intervention study where physical exercise is given for 12 weeks, with or without cognitive support. The effect is measured with rating scales as well as cognitive and physical tests. The purpose is to investigate whether START works as a treatment for ADHD in terms of ADHD symptoms and disability, and what impact the intervention has on mental health, physical condition and activity level, body awareness and everyday functioning. Outcome measures are registered within 3 weeks before and after the end of treatment, after 6 months and 12 months. The randomization takes place in three groups; physical exercise (i), physical exercise and extra cognitive support (ii), and control group on waiting list (iii).
Autism (ASD) is one of the frequent neurodevelopmental disorders that children would occur. Many studies have shown that individuals with Autism are more common to experience significant gastrointestinal problems than other individuals. Symptoms include constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain and gastric reflux. A recent study with 50 children with ASD, 50 children with other developmental disabilities and 50 healthy control children, it found that 70% of ASD children had presented with GI symptoms, compared with 42% of developmental disabilities children and 28% of developing children, it is believed that ASD children will have a distinctive microbial pattern in the stool. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is another neurodevelopmental and neurobehavioral disorder. A study found that ADHD individuals experience significantly higher rate of stomach pain and bowel problems than other control individuals. It is suggested that the microbiota in the stool of ADHD children might be different. Genetic study also found that if a child has a sibling with ADHD, the risk of developing ADHD is three to four times higher than that of children with siblings without ADHD.
