Filter by:This proposed research will use randomized control trial (RCT) methodology and compare micronutrients with placebo in 135 children with ADHD.
Single-centre open-label prospective study, enrolling 127 children and adolescents aged 6-17 years, who receive medication for ADHD of any subtype (presentation). Long-term results are evaluated with tests of ADHD symptoms (Qb-test), intellectual ability (Wechsler scales; WISC), adaptive functioning (Vineland scale), everyday functioning (Weiss Functional Impairment Scale; WFIRS), and quality of life (Child Health and Illness Profile-Child Edition Scale; CHIP-CE) during 24 months of ADHD treatment.
This is a non-interventional study in children and adolescents (ages 6-17 years) with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to assess CNVs in specific genes involved in glutamatergic signaling and neuronal connectivity. The screening in this study will be conducted through a combination of online and site performed activities.
A study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dasotraline in children 6 to 12 years of age with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in a simulated classroom setting.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of an 8-week mindfulness group training for children (8-16 years old) with ADHD in combination with a parallel mindful parenting training for their parents. Half of the participants will be randomly assigned to the mindfulness training in addition to care-as-usual (CAU); the other half to CAU-only. The hypothesis is that compared to care-as-usual only, the addition of the mindfulness training will improve self-control of youth with ADHD.
Although woman are diagnosed with Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) at a 1:3 ratio with men, recent research suggests that woman may experience the same levels of adult ADHD as men but are underdiagnosed because symptoms may be less severe and/or mistaken for anxiety and depression. Women with ADHD typically experience problems in managing worker, student, spousal, and parenting roles dues to disorganization, poor time management, difficulty regulating internal and external stressors, and difficulty maintaining daily schedules and routines. Intervention effectiveness research has largely focused on pharmacological treatment of ADHD symptoms; however, while such pharmacological treatment tends to enhance concentration and reduce motor restlessness, it does not address the skills needed to successfully carry out daily life roles and activities dependent upon time management, prioritization of tasks, and regulation of emotional responses within the home, school/work, and community environments. In this study, the investigators aim to determine whether a 7-week tailored occupational therapy intervention addressing organization, time management, stress management, and sensory regulation in the home, school/work, and community environments can increase satisfaction in desired daily life activities, and reduce ADHD symptoms and stress levels in women with ADHD.
The aim of this study is to carry out a psychological evaluation for the parents of children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and parents of children without ADHD as control to detect any psychological problems in those of children with ADHD . These problems may be a precipitating factor to cause ADHD in their child or have a genetic predisposition to be passed to their children. On the other hand these psychological problems may be caused by the difficulties they encounter in raising their ADHD child. The exact relation needs more researches and to be more investigated.
This is a 6-month trial in adults to find out if certain neuromarkers can predict individual treatment response to stimulant medications for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Males and females, ages 18-45, will complete an MRI scan at MIT prior to beginning medication for ADHD as determined by a treating clinician outside the context of this study.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study of single-dose intranasal oxytocin (24 IU) in 18-55 year-old men with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Following a screening visit to determine eligibility, participants will return for two main study visits. During the main study visits, study participants will receive either oxytocin (Syntocinon® nasal spray, Victoria Pharmacy, Zürich, Switzerland) or placebo (inactive ingredients of Syntocinon® nasal spray, Victoria Pharmacy), followed by assessments of cognitive control over attention and behavior. Twenty-four participants will be randomized 1:1 to one of two drug orders, i.e., oxytocin - placebo or placebo - oxytocin. In an additional neuroimaging substudy, a subset of participants will undergo task-based and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) following oxytocin/placebo administration to investigate the effects of oxytocin on fMRI activation and functional connectivity within the cognitive control network.
This research study is carried out to examine the effects of Phosphatidylserine-Omega 3 supplements (i.e., Vayarin) among children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and ADHD. Participants will be randomised either to receive the Vayarin treatment (Intervention group) or to a Control group.
