Filter by:Advancement in teaching methods, together with the frenetic change in the lifestyles of the school population, provides a unique opportunity to advance scientific knowledge. The current project, called "The Break4Brain Project", aims to examine the acute (transient) effects of physical activity on brain function, cognition, and academic performance in children with and without Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Specifically, a total of 60 children between 10 and 12 years old will be included with (n=30) and without (n=30) ADHD. The study will use an intra-subject design of isolated conditions with four measurement moments where the children will perform three different experimental conditions lasting 10 minutes, which will be randomized in a counterbalanced manner. These experimental conditions will be based on physical activity engaging cognitively, physical activity without engaging cognitively, and cognitively engaging control condition. This project could have a significant impact in the educational field, since, if brain function, cognition, and academic performance prove to be favorably stimulated, acutely, by physical activity through active breaks, these could be prescribed as an effective teaching strategy for children with and without ADHD in the school setting.
The overall project aim is to study children's neurodevelopmental outcomes (including diagnoses of autism, ADHD, and intellectual disability) following exposure to maternal anemia during pregnancy or anemia during the first year of life using national and regional Swedish health-data registers, and to assess children's neurodevelopmental outcomes over the range of maternal hemoglobin levels during pregnancy.
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.
This trial aims to Study the efficacy of DBT skills for impulsive aggression and executive dysfunctions in drug naïve children who are presented with impulsive aggression and ADHD and attending Child and adolescent clinic at Alexandria university hospitals using weekly group therapy for 8 month and testing pre and posttreatment biomarkers of aggression.
The aims of the present study is to investigate the efficacy of a co-designed individually-tailored Internet intervention for parents of children with ADHD.
A Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, fixed-dose, parallel-group efficacy and safety study in a pediatric population (6-17) with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) using CTx-1301 (d-MPH). The study will be comprised of a screening period, a double-blind randomized phase, and a safety follow-up visit.
"Braining" is a clinical method for physical exercise as adjunctive therapy in psychiatric care. The core components are personnel-led group training sessions and motivating contact with psychiatric staff, as well as measurement and evaluation before and after the training period of 12 weeks. Objective. This study aims to describe the clinical and demographic variables in the population of patients who participated in Braining 2017-2020, investigate the feasibility of Braining, and analyse perceived short-term effects and side effects of Braining regarding psychiatric and somatic symptoms. Method. The project is a retrospective, descriptive study. Patients at Psykiatri Sydväst (PSV, Psychiatric Clinic Psychiatry Southwest, Stockholm) who participated in Braining 2017-2020 during at least 3 training sessions, will be asked for inclusion. Medical and demographic data, as well as patient treatment evaluations, are already available in medical records. Additionally, an extended 2-year long-term follow-up will be carried out. This includes blood and hair sample, physical examination as well as qualitative interviews with a representative subgroup.
The goal of this study is to provide a new treatment approach for schoolage children with ADHD, which could facilitate the EF developing well to achieve better outcome.
This study aims to investigate the effect that increasing levels of self-compassion may have on levels of perceived criticism, self-criticism, and mental health of adults with ADHD. A secondary aim of the study is to capture how feasible using an online self-guided self-compassion practice maybe with people with ADHD. Research Questions 1. Does a short self-guided self-compassion intervention increase levels of state and/or trait self-compassion in adults with ADHD over time? 2. Are changes in state and/or trait self-compassion associated with changes in levels of self-criticism or perceived criticism? 3. Are changes in state and/or trait self-compassion associated with improvements in mental health? 4. Are changes in mental health mediated by changes in self-criticism or perceived criticism?
Attention Deficit Disorder with or without Hyperactivity (ADHD) is a frequent pathology in children that has important consequences on schooling both in terms of academic level (due to the attentional disorder) and behavior (disruption of the class). ADHD also has an impact on family functioning, which can generate stress and family altercations. The homework period can be a particularly tense time and a source of conflict with the child, which has negative consequences on the family atmosphere, learning efficiency and of course academic success. The investigators wish to evaluate an innovative digital device (a smartphone application) to accompany the child during homework periods.
