Filter by:This study evaluated the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of centanafadine sustained-release tablets in adults with ADHD. Participants either received a twice-daily dose of centanafadine sustained-release tablets, or twice-daily placebo.
This study evaluates the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of centanafadine sustained-release tablets in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Participants will either receive a twice-daily dose of centanafadine sustained-release tablets, or twice-daily placebo.
Teens with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) have high rates of negative driving outcomes, including motor vehicle crashes, which may be caused by visual inattention (i.e., looking away from the roadway to perform secondary tasks). A driving intervention that trains teens to reduce instances of looking away from the roadway will be tested in teens with ADHD.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate whether Vyvanse, a psychostimulant, can help children ages 6-16 with attention deficits due to traumatic brain injury (TBI). Vyvanse is currently approved for the treatment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity (ADHD). The exact effects this drug may have on adults with attention deficits caused by TBI have been investigated prior. The exact effects this drug may have on children with attention deficits caused by TBI are not known, but the investigators expect that Vyvanse will be of some help in treating this population as well.
The primary purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of Lisdexamfetamine in Adults With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (SCT). This is a placebo controlled, cross-over clinical trial of oral Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate 30-70mg/day in adults with attention-deficit hyper-activity disorder and Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (ACT). Patients will be assigned either LDX/Placebo for 10 weeks with a two week placebo washout period.
Deficits in memory, attention, cognitive, and executive functions are the most common disabilities after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Dopamine (DA) neurotransmission is implicated in these neural functions and dopaminergic pathways are recognized to be frequently disrupted after TBI. Methylphenidate increases synaptic DA levels by binding to presynaptic dopamine transporters (DAT) and blocking re-uptake. The objectives of this study are to use PET imaging with [11C]-raclopride, a D2/D3 receptor ligand, before and after administering methylphenidate, to measure endogenous DA release in patients who are experiencing problems with cognition, attention and executive function in the chronic stage after TBI. In addition, we will use TMS to test short intracortical inhibition, a gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor A (GABAA) - mediated phenomenon, which is under partial DA control, as a measure of dopaminergic activity on and off
The purpose of this study is to determine whether cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is effective in the treatment of attention deficit and emotional, executive function and social function dysregulation due to attention deficit disorder (ADHD).
Children with explosive aggression are often rejected by their peers, placed in special classroom, and contribute to family discord. When psychotherapy and family therapy is unsuccessful, medications are often used. Current medications are stimulants (e.g. methylphenidate, dextroamphetamine), anticonvulsants (e.g. Divalproex) and antipsychotics (olanzapine, risperidone). At this time, the available medications are of limited usefulness, either because they do not always work or because they have side effects such as weight gain or insomnia. There is a clear need for new medications to treat explosive aggression when psychotherapy is unsuccessful. The hypothesis of this study is the medication Intuniv when combined with psychotherapy will be more helpful to children with explosive aggression than placebo combined with psychotherapy. Intuniv is a long acting form of guanfacine, a medication approved by the FDA for treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Intuniv is not a stimulant, nor is it an anticonvulsant, nor is it an antipsychotic. The children in this study will be between the ages of 6 and 12 and meet Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Psychiatry Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) criteria for Intermittent Explosive Disorder.
The study hypothesis is that DHA is more effective than placebo in increasing brain activation and reducing symptoms in psychostimulant-free children with ADHD.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if neurofeedback and working memory training improves core symptoms of ADHD in children and adolescents.
