Filter by:The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to develop and to implement a multiple family narrative therapy intervention consisting of parent-child relationships training among Chinese families of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The intervention aims to reduce the psychological distress of parents and their child, thus improving parent-child relationships, and the trial aims to assess the effectiveness of MFNT among them. A RCT design supplemented by qualitative interviews will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of multiple family narrative therapy intervention on family welfare.
The purpose of the current open-lable study was to use low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to improve the attention deficits in a sample of adult patients suffering from attention deficit disorder. Participants received 10 sessions of rTMS over Fz (located using the EEG 10-20 international system) and underwent assessments of their attentional capacity using the gradCPT task in an fMRI scanner, before and after the intervention. Other behavioral assessments of their attention symptoms have also been conducted.
This study measures the safety and efficacy of repeated low dose MM-120 as treatment for ADHD in adults: a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is frequently associated with emotional dysregulation (ED). ED is characterized by excessive and inappropriate emotional reactions compared to social norms, uncontrolled and rapide shifts in emotion and attention focused on emotional stimuli. According to research, there are strong correlations between personality traits and psychiatric disorder as ADHD. In a longitudinal study, the persistence of ADHD symptoms during adolescence is associated with high neuroticism, low agreeableness and low conscience. Studies show that these personality traits are factors of vulnerabilities for comordities associated with ADHD and are predictive of overall functioning difficulties. Studies show correlations between ADHD in childhood and personality disorders at adulthood . ADHD is frequently associated with emotional dysregulation (ED) that is characterized by an inability to modulate emotional responses in a given context . ED is observed in 24% to 50% children with ADHD . Children with ADHD and ED are more likely to present a severe and complex symptomatology and are at risk for antisocial and bordeline personality disorders than children without ED. To date, there would be no studies which would have been interested in personality traits in children with ADHD and ED. The main objective is to determine if children with ADHD and ED present from childhood traits of personality as low agreeableness, low conscience and high neuroticism that are predictive of personality disorders at adulthood. It would involve earl identification of children at increased risk of pejorative developmental trajectories. The second objectives are: - Improve understanding of the heterogeneity of ADHD symptom expression; - Have a better understanding of the child's personalit and temperament traits to identify riks and protective factors; - Identify children with ADHD with profiles at risk of personality disorders in order to adapt the care according to the child's needs.
The aims of this study are to evaluate auditory sensitivity in teenagers with ADHD using acoustic reflex thresholds (ART) and to examine the effects of ADHD stimulant medication on ART.
Objective: The purpose of the current study was to investigate balance in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder compared to normal subjects. Furthermore, it studied the relationship between their balance and the total percentile scores of the ADHD Rating Scale IV.
ADHD is a common disorder, leading to a significant disability that often persists in adulthood. ADHD is characterized by attentional disturbances that are difficult to asses with standard neuropsychological tests. Attention tends to stall after a certain time of fatigue (i.e. an attention lapse). The aim of this study is to study the electroencephalographic (EEG) characteristics of these attention lapses in a sustained attention task, comparing ADHD patients with healthy subjects.
Comorbidities, including sleep problems, are common in adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Treatment of choice for insomnia is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT-i), but evidence is lacking for CBT-i in patients with ADHD and sleep problems. The purpose of this study was to investigate if patients at a specialist clinic for ADHD benefit from a group delivered CBT-i treatment; whether insomnia severity improves following this treatment. This pragmatic within-group pilot study with a pre to post and three-month follow-up design was set at a specialist psychiatric out-patient clinic for adult ADHD. As an adjunct to care-as-usual at the clinic, a CBT-i-based group treatment targeting sleep problems prevalent in the ADHD-population, designed for patients with executive difficulties, was offered as 10 weekly 90-minute group sessions and scheduled telephone support. All outcome measures were subjectively reported by participants. Data analyzed with dependent t-tests according to intent-to-treat.

This study will evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of centanafadine sustained-release tablets, administered twice daily in the treatment of adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
