Filter by:The study aims to implement and evaluate an RCT of behavioural sleep interventions for children aged 5-12 years with ADHD, and their primary caregivers, (women) in Saudi Arabia to address the following questions: 1. To what extent can a behavioural intervention improve sleep difficulties and increase sleep duration in children with ADHD? 2. To what extent do intervention-induced changes in sleep for children or primary caregivers (women) account for any changes in ADHD symptoms?
There are currently no published randomized controlled studies examining psychosocial interventions for college students with ADHD, and none specifically targeting AUDs in this population at any age, despite the clear indication from emerging research of the need for such interventions. In the current study, the investigators will develop BA-based treatment intended to increase involvement in healthy, goal-directed activities (e.g., academic, recreational or social activities) and to reduce problematic drinking behaviors and other risk behaviors (e.g., unsafe sex) among college students with ADHD (Behavioral Activation for Attention & Alcohol Disorders; BAAAD). Finalized treatment manuals, altered based on focus group feedback, will be tested in a stage I randomized controlled trial (RCT) among 80 college students randomized to BMI + BAAAD or BMI + supportive counseling (SC). The investigators expect that BMI + BAAAD will be successful with college students with ADHD, in terms of decreasing the escalation of problematic alcohol use behaviors, as compared to BMI + SC. This treatment development study will set the stage for larger-scale RCTs.
This is an exploratory study to assess potential maintenance of clinical benefit (cognition and symptoms) following 4 weeks of at-home digital therapy in ADHD children.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, tolerance, food effect, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single and multiple doses of extended release (XR) formulations of Centanafadine (CTN) in Young Healthy participants.
Detrusor hyperactivity is an urodynamic observation defined by involuntary detrusor contractions during the vesical filling. Within neurological bladders childs, especially related to spinal dysraphisms, this hyperactivity, associated or not with vesical compliance disorders, can involve a urinary incontinence obstructing social integration and possibly vesical pressure rise in the intra- potentially generating the high urinary tract lesions. Anticholinergic drugs possibly associated with a vesical draining constitute the treatment of first intention. In approximately 15 to 20% of the cases, intradetrusor iterative injections of type A Botulinum Toxin are proposed fault of satisfactory results. Largely used according to the European consensus of 2008 without AM, actual studies remain realized on small numbers with low level of proof. Posology remains discussed between pharmaceutical laboratories (derivative of the effective maximum amount per adult kg of weight) and weaker amounts used with clinical results.
This noninterventional study will assess genomic changes in the metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) network in children and adolescents with ADHD.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a controlled release formulation of mazindol is more effective than a placebo in the treatment of Attention Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults.
Introduction: Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most prevalent mental disorders in children and is associated with important negative functional outcomes throughout development. The first signs and symptoms become apparent in preschool age. Therefore, early interventions in this population have the potential of limiting the disorder's negative impact and preventing future impairments in affected individuals. The first-choice medication for treating ADHD is methylphenidate, which has evidence of efficacy and safety in preschool children. However, non-evidence based worries and pressure from the media placed parent training as the first-line treatment for ADHD in clinical guidelines. Parent training is a behavioral intervention implemented with the parents, with weekly sessions for 8 weeks, adequate for treating ADHD dysfunctional symptoms and behaviors. However, the level of evidence for this intervention is reduced. Furthermore, the need of trained therapists in the public health system, added to the difficulties on adherence and comprehension from parents, limit its generalization and raise questions regarding its indications. Until now, no study has compared pharmacological treatment with methylphenidate to parent training in preschool children with ADHD regarding their clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness. Moreover, no study has evaluated the impact of pharmacological intervention and psychotherapy on neurobiological mechanisms of ADHD, which is crucial for determining their impact on neurodevelopment. Objectives: This is a double-blind randomized clinical trial that aims to evaluate the efficacy, tolerability, and acceptability of treatment with methylphenidate compared to parental training and placebo in preschool children with ADHD. Methods: This study will be a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, evaluating two active interventions and placebo control group. One hundred and fifty children aged 3 years and 11 months and 5 years and 11 months, diagnosed with ADHD, will be randomized to receive treatment with methylphenidate and information (50 children), parental training and treatment with placebo medication (50 children) or belong to active control group with educational information for parents and placebo treatment with no treatment (active control, 50 children). The treatment will last eight weeks, the neurobiological outcomes will be assessed before and after treatment and clinical outcomes will be assessed at weeks 0, 5 and 9. After the end of treatment, all participants will be invited to participate in a 3 years' annual follow-up. 50 children with typical development will also be evaluated in relation to neurobiological measures. Implications: This study proposes an innovative and relevant analysis, which will enable the field to advance the knowledge of biological mechanisms related to ADHD and to treatment response. Also, the study will expand the evidence to guide early prevention strategies and early intervention.
The proposed protocol is a double-blind, placebo-controlled outpatient study of the safety and benefit of Extended-release mixed amphetamine salt (Adderall-XR, MAS-XR) in the treatment of individuals with Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) and Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The investigators plan to enroll 50 and randomize 40 of these patients in the trial. The primary objective of the study is to determine the efficacy of MAS-XR in promoting cannabis abstinence among individuals with CUD and in promoting a decrease of ADHD symptoms.
