Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare three different investigational wearable digital interventions to determine if they are helpful for improving symptoms and functioning in children diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Description:

The study is a randomized controlled trial of three investigational wearable digital therapies. An online screening questionnaire will evaluate eligibility for the study. Parents and teachers will complete baseline measures, after which the child will wear the assigned device to school Monday-Friday for a four-week period. Parents and teachers will complete the measures again at the end of the four-week intervention period. Compliance with wearing the device will be monitored remotely.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	ADHD Rating Scale-5, School Version: Hyperactivity-Impulsivity Subscale	Nine teacher rated items aligned with DSM-5 Hyperactivity-Impulsivity symptoms, scored on a 4-point Likert scale. Scores range from 0-27, higher scores indicate greater symptom severity.	Change from Baseline to Post-intervention (4 weeks)
Other	ADHD Rating Scale-5, Home Version: Hyperactivity-Impulsivity Subscale	Nine parent rated items aligned with DSM-5 Hyperactivity-Impulsivity symptoms, scored on a 4-point Likert scale. Scores range from 0-27, higher scores indicate greater symptom severity.	Change from Baseline to Post-intervention (4 weeks)
Other	Conners 4, Short Form: Parent	Parent completed ratings of ADHD symptoms and functioning. Items are rated on a 4-point Likert scale. Subscale raw scores are converted to T-scores with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10. Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity or impairment.	Change from Baseline to Post-intervention (4 weeks)
Other	Conners 4, Short Form: Teacher	Teacher completed ratings of ADHD symptoms and functioning. Items are rated on a 4-point Likert scale. Subscale raw scores are converted to T-scores with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10. Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity or impairment.	Change from Baseline to Post-intervention (4 weeks)
Other	Comprehensive Executive Function Inventory: Parent	Parent completed ratings of a child's executive function. Consists of 9 domains and a total score. Items are rated on a 6-point Likert scale. Subscale raw scores are converted to standard scores with a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15. Higher scores are indicative of better functioning.	Change from Baseline to Post-intervention (4 weeks)
Other	Comprehensive Executive Function Inventory: Teacher	Teacher completed ratings of a child's executive function. Consists of 9 domains and a total score. Items are rated on a 6-point Likert scale. Subscale raw scores are converted to standard scores with a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15. Higher scores are indicative of better functioning.	Change from Baseline to Post-intervention (4 weeks)
Other	Impairment Rating Scale - Parent	Parent completed ratings of impairment in youth with ADHD. Parent version includes 8 items. The 8th represents overall impairment. Ratings are made on a 7-point Likert scale from "no problem/definitely does not need treatment or special services" to "extreme problem/definitely needs treatment or special services". Higher scores indicate more severe problems.	Change from Baseline to Post-intervention (4 weeks)
Other	Impairment Rating Scale - Teacher	Teacher completed ratings of impairment in youth with ADHD. Teacher version includes 7 items. The 7th represents overall impairment. Ratings are made on a 7-point Likert scale from "no problem/definitely does not need treatment or special services" to "extreme problem/definitely needs treatment or special services". Higher scores indicate more severe problems.	Change from Baseline to Post-intervention (4 weeks)
Other	Weiss Functional Impairment Rating Scale - Parent Form	Parent completed ratings of child's overall functioning across six domains including a total score. Items are rated on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from "not at all or never" to "very much or very often", as well as a "not applicable" option. Higher scores are associated with impairment.	Change from Baseline to Post-intervention (4 weeks)
Other	Academic Performance Rating Scale	A 19-items scale developed to reflect teachers' perceptions of children'ts academic performance and abilities in classroom settings. Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale, and scores are summed for each of the factor scores: Academic Success, Impulse Control, and Academic Productivity. A total score is also calculated for overall academic performance. Higher scores are representative of stronger classroom functioning.	Change from Baseline to Post-intervention (4 weeks)
Primary	ADHD Rating Scale-5 (ADHD-RS-5), School Version: Inattention Subscale	Nine teacher rated items aligned with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fifth Edition (DSM-5) Inattentive symptoms, scored on a 4-point Likert scale from "never or rarely" to "very often". Scores range from 0-27, higher scores indicate greater symptom severity.	Change from Baseline to Post-intervention (4 weeks)
Secondary	ADHD Rating Scale-5, Home Version: Inattention Subscale	Nine parent rated items aligned with DSM-5 Inattentive symptoms, scored on a 4-point Likert scale from "never or rarely" to "very often". Scores range from 0-27, higher scores indicate greater symptom severity.	Change from Baseline to Post-intervention (4 weeks)
Secondary	ADHD Rating Scale-5, School Version: Total score	Sum of the teacher rated Inattentive and Hyperactivity-Impulsivity Subscale scores. Scores range from 0-54, higher scores indicate greater symptom severity.	Change from Baseline to Post-intervention (4 weeks)
Secondary	ADHD Rating Scale-5, Home Version: Total score	Sum of the parent rated Inattentive and Hyperactivity-Impulsivity Subscale scores. Scores range from 0-54, higher scores indicate greater symptom severity.	Change from Baseline to Post-intervention (4 weeks)
