Filter by:The ultimate goals of this study are to identify patterns of familial aggregation with regards to categorical and dimensional approaches of ADHD and neuropsychological measures, to validate the phenotypes and endophenotypes that are close to biological expression of genders underlying ADHD, and to identify the genetic variants close to the etiological genes of ADHD in Taiwanese sample. We propose to replicate the analysis of the candidate genes identified by previous genetic studies on ADHD using the candidate gene association study design (family-based case control study using parental controls) to validate the findings from other research groups. With the accomplishment of these goals, this study will resolve controversies over inconsistent findings in previous genetic studies and contribute to the literature on the validity of ASD using clinical and genetic data.
The purpose of this study is examine the efficacy of atomoxetine on executive functioning measures including the Continuous Performance Test (CPT) and the executive function measures of the Cambridge Automated Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB).
The purpose of this study is to test if the investigational medication ABT-089 is a safe and effective treatment for children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the clinical benefit of switching children with ADHD from immediate-release methylphenidate (IR-MPH) to OROS-methylphenidate under the correct dosage conversion scheme.
The purpose of this study is to determine if methylphenidate (a common brand name is Ritalin), a medicine used for treating older children with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), is also safe and helpful for problems related to symptoms of ADHD in young children with Developmental Disorders (DD)
Dextroamphetamine is commonly used to treat ADHD, and recent evidence suggests that this medication may decrease drug use in individuals dependent on cocaine. Thus, the present pilot study will determine the ability of dextroamphetamine to treat individuals with both cocaine dependence and ADHD.
The objective of this study is to determine the tolerability and safety of olanzapine administered as a subcutaneous injection to hospitalized patients with hyperactive or mixed delirium.
This study will evaluate atomoxetine's efficacy in treating attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and atomoxetine's effect on functional outcomes in young adults. A gatekeeper strategy will be employed for sequentially testing the secondary objectives. This study also has an observational community sample arm in which patients will complete all the efficacy measurements via web-based self reporting.
This prospective pilot trial will evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties of mazindol.
This study will look at the effectiveness of Methylphenidate Transdermal System (MTS) in treating adult ADHD. MTS has received FDA approval for childhood ADHD but this is the first trial for adult ADHD. Subjects will experience two screening visits and one baseline visit. Those who meet admission criteria will enter the double-blind phase. This will involve two 4-week treatment periods one of which will involve the use of MTS and the other a placebo patch. Subjects who complete the double-blind phase will be allowed to enter a 180-day, open-label MTS phase designed to assess long-term effects.
