Filter by:This clinical trial aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an intervention involving parental training in behaviour management and medication in children with both Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) and Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity (ADHD). ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects around 5% of school-age children and adolescents, while T1D is a chronic disease requiring strict management. After initial parental training provided for parents/legal guardians, the children will be randomized to one of two cross-over groups, and treated with either lisdexamfetamine or methylphenidate first. After dose optimization for first 5-7 weeks, patients will be treated for 6 months total, after which they will be switched to the other drug. Researchers will then compare the ADHD symptom severity as measured by Conners 3 questionnaire, and compare the frequency of any adverse events associated with the therapy. As secondary outcomes, patient's T1D control and quality of life will be compared between the two drugs.
After an episode of facial paralysis, as nerves recover, they aberrantly regenerate and send additional branches to the incorrect muscles in addition to the intended muscle. This leads to what is known as Aberrant Regeneration Syndrome, Post-paralysis Synkinesis, or Nonflaccid Facial Paralysis. It is characterized by poor facial symmetry and function, hypertonic facial muscles at rest, and abnormal facial movements. One sequela is acquired blepharoptosis causing a smaller ocular aperture, visual field obstruction, cosmetic deformity, and abnormal periocular spasms. This study aims to evaluate an FDA approved medication for acquired blepharoptosis due to synkinesis/hyperkinesis as an adjunct to treatment.
A total of 52 children, 26 of whom were diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as the experimental group and 26 healthy with no systemic disease as the control group, were included in the study. Then, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of electric and manual toothbrushes, each group was randomly divided into 2 subgroups: Electric and Manual. Children were educated on toothbrushing according to subgroups. DMFT/dft and Löe-Silness Gingival Index (GI) values were recorded. At the first appointment, plaque disclosing was performed and Turesky modification of Quigley-Hein Plaque Index (TQHPI) and Approximal Plaque Index (API) values were recorded to determine the amount of dental plaque before the brushing. Subsequently, children brushed their teeth for 2 minutes with the subgroup's toothbrush type. Then, plaque disclosing and measurements were repeated to determine the amount of plaque removal after brushing. The same procedure steps were repeated at the 1st and 3rd-month appointments, respectively. a p-value below 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
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.
Physiotherapists have positive effects on motor skills, executive functions and symptoms of children with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder. However, progression takes time due to the symptoms of the disease. Physiotherapists need strategies to manage the symptoms of ADHD. Music can be used as a strategy because music is known to reduce the symptoms of children in this group. There is no study in the literature on how motor skills will be affected with musical accompaniment. The aim of this study is to compare motor skills performed with and without music in children with ADHD. When we evaluate motor skills like in a treatment session, the usability of music as an environmental factor will be investigated according to the positive, negative or ineffective results of the music effect.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in children. Children with ADHD have difficulties with co-contraction, producing muscle force, and regulating movement velocity, and physical fitness. The purpose of this study was to compare the gross and fine motor abilities in children with ADHD and children with typical development.
Attention Deficit Disorder With Hyperactivity is associated with deficits in cognition and sleep. In healthy adults, memory consolidation processes are related to sleep spindle activity in the sleep electroencephalogram. This association is poorly characterized in adults with attention deficit hyperactivity. In this study, the purpose is to characterize sleep microarchitecture disorders through the analysis of different stage of sleep EEG activity during a polysomnographic examination in adult with mixed Attention Deficit Disorder With Hyperactivity presentation compared to healthy.
The goal of this clinical trial is to develop and validate an Equine Assisted Occupational Therapy Intervention for children aged 6-12 with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The research aims to study the effect of an EAOT intervention on cognitive-emotional aspects, daily function and participation among these children using various measurements including physiological measures (EEG, heart rate for rider and horse), questionnaires and different tasks. It aims to enable the creation of an evidence based protocol for professionals in order to provide a better suited therapy for children with ADHD and enable them to live a full life. Participants will enroll in a 12 week EAOT intervention including one session per week of 45 minutes with a waiting period prior the intervention. Participants will go through assessments prior waiting time, prior the intervention and post intervention.
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Clinical diagnosis of this disorder depends of history taking, parent report, and questionnaire. Attention test such as continuous performance test can provide quantitative measurement on attention deficits; however, there is a lack of objective tool to quantify the activity level. This study aims to assess activity level in children with ADHD. We plan to recruit 50 children with ADHD and 50 neurotypical children. The activity level measured by wearable device will be compared between ADHD and neurotypical children. The correlation between behavior rating on questionnaire and quantitative data measured by wearable device will be analyzed.
The study targets children with diagnosed ADHD and aims to (1) develop a social virtual reality-based intervention, (2) investigate its effects on improving the social skills and executive functioning of inhibitions, emotional control and attention of the children compared to traditional social skills training and (3) evaluate the subjects acceptability and compliance with social VR training for enhancing social interaction skills. It is hypothesised that the social interaction skills of the participants in the social VR training group are likely to perform better than those in the traditional social skills training group. Participants in the waitlist control group will receive no change in social interaction skills compared with the two intervention groups.
