Active clinical trials for "Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity"

This study is a single site, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled parallel group design. this study is designed to directly examine the efficacy of a single daily dose of atomoxetine taken in the morning in alleviating sleep initiation insomnia in children with ADHD. Primary outcome measures are sleep parameters, specifically mean sleep onset latency (time of onset to persistent sleep), as measured by actigraphy/sleep diary, and parent and child-reported evening settling difficulties, as measured on the evening subscale items of the parent and child versions of the DPREMB-R. Secondary outcome measures include: additional actigraphic sleep parameters (night wakings, sleep duration, and sleep efficiency), daytime sleepiness (Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale, sleepiness visual analogue scale (VAS), and morning behaviors on the DPREMB-R); ADHD symptom improvement (ADHD-RS, parent version; provider-completed CGI); a neurocognitive measure of attention and impulsivity (CPT); executive functions (Brown ADD Scale for Children) and functional outcomes/quality of life (CHQ).

This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of methylphenidate in treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children with both attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and Tourette syndrome.

The purpose of the study is to investigate if NS2359 is effective in the treatment of ADHD in adult patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and effectiveness of methylphenidate in treatment of ADHD in Swedish adult male prison inmates diagnosed with ADHD.

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.

There has been an increased interest in the association between ADHD and sleep disorders over the past years. A high incidence of sleep disturbance, ranging from 10% to 70%, has been identified in ADHD children regardless of whether or not they are receiving stimulant therapy. This study will assess the safety and efficacy of zolpidem in children with ADHD associated insomnia.

To determine whether supplementation of omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid conjugated to phosphatidylserine rather than triglycerides (fish oil) could affect Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptoms in children.

This is a single-blind study looking at the efficacy and satisfaction of Concerta substitution in adult subjects with ADHD receiving immediate release methylphenidate. Subjects will be administered a maximum dose of 1.3mg/kg/day of either methylphenidate or Concerta. The specific hypotheses of this study are: Hypothesis 1: ADHD symptomatology in adults with DSM-IV, ADHD will continue to be controlled in patients switched from MPH IR TID to Concerta. Hypothesis 2: Patient satisfaction will not decrease in patients switched from MPH IR TID to Concerta (ie., all patients will be equally or more satisfied on Concerta as compared with MPH IR TID.

There is a scarcity of clinical trials assessing the effects of medications in children with bipolar disorder. This study aims to assess the efficacy of Aripiprazole associated with Methylphenidate (MPH)for the treatment of children and adolescents with bipolar disorder comorbid with ADHD who improve in maniac symptoms while receiving aripiprazole but did not have an adequate response in ADHD symptoms. The study design is a 4-week randomized, double blind, cross-over group trial. Patients were randomized to aripiprazole + MPH or aripiprazole + placebo. The main hypothesis is: Aripiprazole + MPH will significantly reduce ADHD scores compared to aripiprazole + placebo.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of methylphenidate HCL extended-release tablets at five dose levels in adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
