Filter by:The aim of the current study is to examine whether the ability to avoid irrelevant auditory stimuli and focus hearing, enabled by the device developed by "Nuance Hearing", may help students with ADHD in classroom listening situations by significantly reducing background distractions.
The present project is to identify the relationship between ADHD and the metabolites of tryptophan.
This study is to examine the gut problems in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorders (ADHD) and is conducted by the Department of Psychiatry of Alice Ho Miu Ling Nethersole Hospital. Children with ADHD who attend our department will be recruited with their parents/guardians' consent. Only the primary caregiver will be invited for an interview to assess the recruited children's gut problems, autistic features, emotional problems, diet pattern and medical history. The data will be compared with normal children who are recruited as control in local primary schools. The aim of this study is to know whether children with ADHD have higher chance of gut problems, and to assess other factors associated with the linkage.
The aim of this study is to analyse explicit and implicit emotional information processing abilities in children with attention deficit disorder with or without hyperactivity
To date the effects of chiropractic care on behavior and neurological function in children diagnosed with ADHD has not been investigated thoroughly and is limited mostly to case studies and retrospective case reviews. Our research group recently completed a pilot study that investigated the effects of a single session of chiropractic care on oculomotor function and reading ability in children with ADHD. The findings of this study suggested that chiropractic care may have a role in improving oculomotor control and reading ability in this population group. This proposed study is the next step in this program of research and is a pilot clinical trial that will investigate whether 4 weeks of chiropractic care influences behavior, neurological function, or quality of life in children with ADHD.
This study is a single arm, open-label, pilot study to assess midline frontal theta (MFT) power as measured by stimulus-locked electroencephalogram (EEG) before and after treatment with AKL-T01 for improving attention in pediatric participants ages 8-12 years old with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Tics have been defined as sudden, rapid, recurrent, non-rhythmic, stereotyped, involuntary movements or vocalizations. Motor tic can be either simple or complex, depending on whether one or several muscle groups are simultaneously or concurrently affected. Motor tics commonly include behaviours such as eye blinking, lip-licking, or mouth opening. It can also involve more complex movements like facial grimacing ,head movements , shoulder shrugging or combinations of these.Vocal or phonic tics are involuntary sounds that include throat clearing, coughing, barking, sniffing, unnecessary belching or more complex vocalizations such as repeating parts of words or phrases. Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome is complex neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by combination of motor and vocal tics. Motor tics often precede the onset of phonic tics by many years. The phonic tics may commence from about the age of 3 years. Severe Tourette's Syndrome may manifest as forceful bouts of self-harming motor tics, including hitting or biting, as well as socially unacceptable utterances (coprolalia) and gestures [3]. The Tourette's Syndrome Study Group definition from 1993 requires the concurrent presence of motor and vocal tics occurring almost daily for at least one year, [4]. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5th Edition requires both multiple motor and one or more vocal tics have been present at some time during the illness, although not necessarily concurrently for the diagnosis of Tourette's Syndrome . It also describes Tics Disorder and Tourette's Syndrome as waxing and waning in frequency and symptoms must have lasted for more than one year since the first onset.
This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group study of the efficacy and safety of tolperisone (a non-opioid) or placebo administered as multiple doses three times a day (TID) in approximately 400 male and female subjects experiencing back pain due to or associated with muscle spasm.
Background: The current study aimed to explore the possible effect of stimulants on oxytocin (OT), a neuropeptide found to regulate social behavior, as a mediator of the pro-social effect of methylphenidate (MPH) in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) compared to healthy controls (HCs). Methods: In a double-blind manner the investigators compared the performance of 50 children with ADHD and 40 HCs in "theory of mind" (ToM) tasks and examined the effect of a single dose of MPH/placebo on ToM and salivary OT levels in children with ADHD at baseline and following an interpersonal interaction.
This research study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test whether pharmacogenomics (PGx) testing for ADHD medications will help guide clinicians to choose medications and dosages for pediatric ADHD treatment that provide faster symptom relief, fewer or less severe side effects, improve patient quality of life, and lessen emotional stress for parents/guardians of the patients.
