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 goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CTx-1301 in children (6-12) with ADHD in a laboratory classroom setting.
A Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, fixed-dose, parallel-group efficacy and safety study in a pediatric population (6-17) with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) using CTx-1301 (d-MPH). The study will be comprised of a screening period, a double-blind randomized phase, and a safety follow-up visit.
The purpose of this study is to develop an innovative wearable tracking protocol that will use Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to monitor sleep and behavior of 3-7 year old children.
Drug treatment is often the first and only line of treatment available for ADHD. However, some do not benefit from medication. The importance of psychotherapy is becoming more widely accepted. In this study a group of university students diagnosed with ADHD will be offered cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) in groups. The treatment will be provided by a Clinical Nurse Specialist in psychiatric nursing (CNS), in cooperation with school counsellors at the University of Iceland and the Reykjavík University. Brief CBT treatment will be offered, i.e. six group sessions, once a week over a period of six weeks. Little is known about the effects of CBT for adults diagnosed with ADHD. The study could provide knowledge about the effects of CBT on depression, anxiety and ADHD, and on attitudes, for individuals with ADHD. The resulting knowledge might lead to improved well-being and increased quality of life.
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by problems with sustaining attention, organization, planning, procrastination, daydreaming, restlessness, impulsivity and hyperactivity.This is an outpatient study for subjects between the ages of 18-60, who have an Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnosis meeting all inclusion criteria and not meeting any of the exclusion criteria.
The aim of this study is to analyse thanks to eye tracking experiments ocular movement classical parameters in children with attention deficit hyperactivity (ADH) and to compare them to results obtained in healthy children and to results obtained with neuropsychological tests commonly used in standard health care. We should then be able to compare eye tracking with neuropsychological parameters. The final objective is to give to health professional a tool for ADH investigation with which they should be able to do a simple and effective follow up of children with ADH.
The project aims to describe and compare the outcome of 12 weeks of prospective, randomized treatment with olanzapine, risperidone or aripiprazole on insulin action in skeletal muscle, liver and adipose tissue, abdominal fat mass, total body and fat-free mass, efficacy for symptoms of aggression and non-metabolic adverse events. Children aged 6-18 will be studied, exploring effects of stimulant therapy and age-related differences in vulnerability to treatment-induced adverse metabolic changes. Aims are addressed by measuring glucose and lipid kinetics with stable isotope tracers, body composition with dual energy x-ray absorptiometry and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and standardized assessments of efficacy and adverse events. Relevant data are critically needed to target clinical therapy and basic research, identify medical risks, and guide regulatory decisions in this vulnerable population.
