PURPOSE: This randomized-controlled trial study of treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder of school-aged children with transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation to see how well it works compared to sham transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation.
BACKGROUND: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity-Disorder (ADHD) is associated with language difficulties within expressive, receptive and pragmatic areas of language.Telling stories is a particularly interesting language task as is provides the possibility of investigating how children use their language in everyday interactions. Thus, investigating how children with ADHD tell stories provides a more naturalistic impression of their language abilities. However, the extent, causes, and clinical relevance of language and narrative difficulties in ADHD remain largely unknown. Language may be the key to understanding and improving the functional impairments associated with ADHD such as social and academic function. AIM: The overall aim of the current study was to investigate the association between language, narrative ability and ADHD, what contributes to this association, as well as the clinical relevance of language difficulties in ADHD in relation to academic and social function. METHOD: Children between 7-11 years old with ADHD will be recruited from Aarhus University Hospital in Skejby and compared to children without ADHD recruited from schools in the community. All children will be assessed at two separate meetings at the Department of Psychology, Aarhus University. The total number of participants in each group will depend on the intake of patients at Aarhus University Hospital, but a maximum of 100 children will be sampled in each group.
To evaluate the efficacy of AMPH ER TAB compared to placebo in adult patients with ADHD aged 18 to 60 years.
We use Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), combined with simultaneous registration of electroencephalograph (EEG),for examining human cortical functionality. TMS-EEG is a noninvasive brain stimulation method that allows to study human cortical function in vivo. EEG provides an opportunity to directly measure the cerebral response to TMS, measuring the cortical TMS Evoked potential (TEP). In this study we measure TEPs, in a wide variety of neurological conditions and healthy as a measure of cerebral reactivity across wide areas of neocortex.
This study investigates the psychophysiological responses to aversive stimuli in a population of 133 children clinically diagnosed with conduct disorder (CD) and/or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Participants were administered with either omega-3 or placebo for a period of 6 months and were exposed to three stimuli every three months: 1) a loud sound, 2) threatening photographs from the International Affective Picture System (IAPS), and 3) the Trier Social Stress Task (TSST). Participants' psychophysiological features of heart rate and galvanic skin conductance were measured and analyzed in relation to their omega-3/placebo condition clinical diagnosis.
This study is aimed to find out Sleep profile differences in children and adolescents with and without ADHD,Relationship between sleep profile disturbance and ADHD symptoms, Impact of sleep disturbance on cognition functions and quality of life.
The purpose of our study is to examine the impact of a program that provides emotion regulation skills for adolescents aged 11-16 with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and poor emotion regulation. The program is called RELAX (Regulating Emotions Like An eXpert). RELAX is an experimental intervention that may equip adolescents with emotion regulation and conflict management skills and includes parent involvement to help parents support adolescents' use of these skills.
This study investigates the psychophysiological correlations of aggression and response to aversive stimuli in a population of 133 children clinically diagnosed with conduct disorder (CD) and/or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Data was gathered about participants' level of aggression through the Reactive-Proactive Aggression Questionnaire (RPQ). The stimuli that were presented to the participants included 1) a loud sound, 2) threatening photographs from the International Affective Picture System (IAPS), and 3) the Trier Social Stress Task (TSST). Participants' psychophysiological features of heart rate and galvanic skin conductance were measured and analyzed in relation to their RPQ scores and clinical diagnosis.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if physical activity (PA) can increase in children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) using a modified behavioral management training (BMT) program.
This work will assess the reliability of a simple painless test for the effectiveness of the commonly used local anesthetic lidocaine
