Clinical Trial Description

Objectives: To preliminarily assess the effects and feasibility of parent-delivered TCM pediatric massage for ADHD symptoms in preschool children.

Hypothesis: The parent-delivered TCM pediatric massage group would have greater improvement in children's hyperactivity, anxiety, and sleep disturbance symptoms when compared to the parent-child interaction group.

Design and subjects: In this pilot randomized controlled trial, 60 pair of children with pre-specified ADHD symptoms and their parent will be recruited and randomized to parent-administered TCM pediatric massage comparison group, and parent-child interaction group at a 1: 1 ratio.

Interventions: Parents of subjects in the parent-administered TCM massage group (n=30) will attend 2 training sessions (5 hours in total) to learn and practice the parent-administered TCM massage for ADHD before treatment starts. The parents will be told to practice the TCM massage on their child every 2 days for 2 months. Parents in the parent-child interaction group (comparison group, n=30) will attend a 3-hour training course on line and spend extra time on interacting with their child at home.

Main outcome measures: The primary outcome measure is the Swanson, Nolan and Pelham Parent Scale (SNAP-IV-P). Other outcomes include Preschool Anxiety Scale (PAS), Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ), Parental Stress Scale (PSS) for parental stress, and the Clinical Global Impression (CGI).

Data Analysis: Differences in the scale scores and test parameters between groups will be examined using a linear mixed-effects model.

Expected results: Subjects in the parent-administered TCM massage group will have greater improvements in the ADHD symptoms compared to those in the parent-child interaction group at week 4 and week 8. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
