Active clinical trials for "Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity"

Impaired WM is a central deficit in ADHD. A computerized training program, Cogmed, has been shown to increase WM capacity in children with ADHD. It is not known whether the training improves behavior associated with classroom learning, such as remaining on-task and inhibiting off- task behavior. The aim of this study is to utilize ecologically valid measures to investigate training's effect on observable ADHD behavior in conjunction with more standard measures. Subjects will be randomly assigned to a Cogmed versus an active "placebo" condition in which the tasks do not increase in difficulty level in a double-blinded fashion. The effects of the active Cogmed versus placebo computer training will be compared on measures in children with ADHD.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a developmental disorder that presents during childhood, and is characterized by developmentally inappropriate levels of inattention and/or hyperactive-impulsive behavior. It is proposed that classical homeopathic treatment can reduce the symptoms of ADHD without serious side effects. This is an open label pilot feasibility study (36 participants). Participants, age 6-16, will consult with a homeopathic practitioner who will select treatments based on classical homeopathy principles. All participants will be assessed on a 4-weekly basis for a total of 36 weeks. The purpose of the study is to assess feasibility of recruitment and patient retention, to obtain pilot data on which to base a sample size calculation for future study, and to identify major safety concerns. The study will use single homeopathic medicines approved for over-the-counter use in Canada. The primary outcome measure will be the validated Conners 3rd Edition - Parent.

The proposed study will be an initial test of a cognitive-behavioral intervention for adolescents with ADHD who are receiving medication treatment. It is based on our successful work with adults with ADHD who have been treated with medicines but are still having symptoms. It involves learning skills for organization and planning, attention, and mood.

This study will test the efficacy of a systematic, multi-modal intervention protocol designed to improve sleep functioning and subsequent alleviation of daytime cognitive and behavioral difficulties among children diagnosed with ADHD. It is hypothesized that children receiving behavioral and (if necessary) pharmacologic interventions targeting sleep will display improvement on objective and subjective sleep measures, neuropsychological tests, and teacher-, and parent-ratings of ADHD behaviors.

A multi center, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of eszopiclone compared to placebo in children (6-11 years of age, inclusive) and adolescents (12-17 years of age, inclusive) with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) associated insomnia.

The study will evaluate the efficacy of LDX treatment group compared to placebo on the change from Baseline ADHD-RS-IV score at endpoint.

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 (ADHD).

The purpose of this study is to determine if CLONICEL (clonidine HCl sustained release) is a safe and effective add-on to psychostimulant therapy in children and adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

The purpose of this study is to determine whether CLONICEL® (clonidine HCl sustained release) is a safe and effective treatment for children and adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
