Filter by:Many children with ADHD suffer from sleep disorders and dysfunction, which may affect development and well-being. According to the clinicians, some children find relief from restlessness and difficulty sleeping by using weighted blankets which have been proposed to reduce restlessness and stress via sensory integration and to calm the child by stimulating the sense of touch, muscles and joints. However, evidence for an effect on sleep is scarce, and only one RCT has investigated the effect of weighted blankets among children with ADHD. Using a RCT design, the aim is to investigate the effect on sleep disorders and dysfunction in children with ADHD aged 5-12 years by (1) using a weighted blanket during night and daytime in addition to usual treatment, compared to (2) usual treatment and a non-weighted sham blanket, with the primary outcome being differences in total sleep time. Results will support health- and social professionals who are involved in the treatment of children with ADHD.
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of a non-pharmacological transdiagnostic sleep intervention as add on to standard treatment for bipolar disorder, depression and attention deficit disorder. Our hypothesis is that the intervention will reduce the severity of the sleep problem and increase sleep quality compared to a control group receiving sleep hygiene education.
The investigators are investigating whether home-based tDCS over the course of four weeks can improve ADHD symptom severity and improve dysexecutive functioning (cognitive control). Further, the investigators are investigating whether there is a dose-dependent response to tDCS.
Randomized clinical trial in which individuals who have been diagnosed with ADHD and are regularly treated with Methylphenidate will be test for cognitive performance and will be randomly examined in the following four conditions: - While taking Methylphenidate and sitting at a desk - While taking Methylphenidate and walking on a treadmill workstation - Without taking Methylphenidate while sitting at a desk - Without taking Methylphenidate while walking on a treadmill workstation The investigators will compare the cognitive achievements outcomes and evaluate the efficiency of studying in each of these four conditions.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by attention deficit, impulsivity and hyperactivity. It's one of the most frequently encoutered disorder in child psychiatry. ADHD has a significant impact on the quality of life of children and their parents. In the child psychiatry department of the MPEA Peyre Plantade, a Therapeutic Education program specific to ADHD has been set up for children and their parents. This program consists of different workshops whose aim is to reduce the ADHD repercussions on the daily life of children and their families and thus improve their quality of life. The principal aim of our study is to evaluate the effectiveness of this program in improving the quality of life of children with ADHD and their parents.
This study develops and refines an online platform that will support clinician-directed behavioral and organizational skills intervention for adolescents with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) with input guided from key stakeholders during focus groups and interviews (phase 1), extended usability testing (phase 2), and a pilot randomized trial (phase 3) of the online tool used in conjunction with an organizational skills intervention.
This project aims to identify precursors of executive attention that can serve as early markers of ADD.
Analysis of the short-and long-term impact of recombinant growth hormone on attention deficit and hyperactivity charachteristics in children and adolescents. This will be examined in children prior to GH therapy and 3, 6 and 12 months during treatment, by filling validated questionnaires (Vanderbilt rating scales) evaluating ADHD. Data will be compared to healthy control group.
The overall objective of the current study is to determine whether computerized Working Memory (WM) training will enhance WM capacity in college students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)/Learning Disabilities (LD). There are also three additional objectives. The first is to determine whether improvements in WM will generalize to secondary outcome tasks, such as inhibitory control and planning. The second objective is to examine whether WM training will also ameliorate ADHD symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity. The last objective is to investigate whether improvements will be maintained at a two month follow-up period. It is expected that the computerized WM training program will enhance WM capacity in college students with ADHD. In addition, it is believed that these increases in WM capacity will also lead to improvements in other executive functions. It is also hypothesized that WM training will lead to a reduction in ADHD symptomology. Lastly, these improvements should be maintained at three month follow-up.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether prolonged treatment with methylphenidate has any adverse effect on cardiac functions and measurements.
