About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) focused on measuring ADHD, neuromodulation, trigeminal nerve stimulation

Eligibility Criteria

8 Years - 13 Years (Child)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • male and female children ages 8-13 with DSM-5 ADHD, and current presentation, as determined by KSADS and clinical interview
  • received active TNS therapy in a previous trial and demonstrated a CGI-I score <= 2.
  • parents able and willing to monitor proper use of the TNS device and complete all required rating scales

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Active TNS

Arm Description

Participants will receive trigeminal nerve stimulation (TNS) administered by the Monarch eTNS System nightly during sleep for up to 12 months of this open-extension trial.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

ADHD-IV Rating Scale (ADHD-RS)
A dimensional rating of ADHD symptoms, with scores ranging from 0 to 54, with higher scores signifying worse severity.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-I)
Categorical measure indicating degree improved or not improved compared with global functioning at baseline in the preceding double-blind trial. The base CGI-I scale is a 7-point measure that requires the investigator to assess how much the condition has improved or worsened compared to baseline prior to initiation of treatment. Ratings are (1) very much improved; (2) much improved; (3) minimally improved; (4) no change; (5) minimally worse; (6) much worse; (7) very much worse. For purposes of analysis, the measure is dichotomized such that scores <= 2 signify "improved" and scores > 2 signify "not improved."
Height
A dimensional measure assessed in cm.
Weight
A dimensional measure assessed in kg.
Systolic Blood Pressure
A dimensional measure assessed in mm Hg.
Diastolic Blood Pressure
A dimensional measure assessed in mm Hg.
Pulse
A dimensional measure assessed in heart beats per minute.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Participants who exhibit sufficient ADHD symptom improvement in a prior study of active TNS will be invited to continue in a 12-month extension study, designed to collect additional data on long-term response and tolerability and to provide participants ongoing clinical benefit from treatment.
Detailed Description
Children, ages 8-12 years, participated in a 5 week double-blind, sham-controlled study of active Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation (TNS). Participants randomized to sham in the double-blind, were then invited into a 4-week open TNS trial. Participants who met positive response criteria to active TNS, either during the original double-blind study or the open-treatment followup, were invited to continue their TNS treatment in a 12-month open extension phase. Participants who continued in the 12-month extension returned for study visits every 3 months to assess ongoing response and safety/tolerability data. Unless otherwise noted, baseline line assessments in the 12-month extension are taken from the final visit of the preceding active treatment trial, i.e. the visit at which positive response criteria were met.
