Active clinical trials for "Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity"

A three-arm, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 4, multicenter study to compare the efficacy and safety of atomoxetine versus placebo in children and adolescents aged 6 through 17 years with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and comorbid oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) who are treated as outpatients in Germany. After an initial 3- to 28-day screening and washout phase, participants will be assigned to double-blind treatment with atomoxetine or placebo. A 2 week up-titration period will be succeeded by a 7 week treatment period at the target dose. The primary efficacy measure will be the Swanson, Nolan and Pelham Rating Scale Revised (SNAP-IV) ODD subscale score.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how children and adolescents with Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) respond to treatment with three differing doses of stimulant medications used to treat ADHD, Adderall XR® and Focalin XR®. Another purpose of the study is to evaluate if there are differences in sleep and other side effects, such as changes in mood or loss of appetite, which can occur with stimulant medications. A third purpose is to determine if there are differences in the characteristics of individuals who respond better to either of the medications. This research is being done because the investigators do not know if one of these two commonly used treatments is better tolerated than the other. Children and adolescents with ADHD often have a hard time sitting still, playing quietly, finishing things they start, paying attention, waiting their turn, and not distracting others. These medications improve these symptoms, but sometimes affect sleep, appetite, or mood. It is hypothesized that at effective and frequently prescribed doses, Adderall will be associated with insomnia, more stimulant side effects, and decreased tolerability during an acute trial relative to Focalin.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of osmotic-release methylphenidate (OROS-MPH) versus placebo for the treatment of ADHD in adolescents with SUD.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether atomoxetine is effective in reducing ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) symptoms in children and adolescents with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder).

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of organizational skills training in improving organizational, time management, and planning difficulties in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness (onset of effect, time to loss of effect, and overall efficacy) of methylphenidate given as an OROS® (methylphenidate HCl) formulation, compared to immediate-release Ritalin® and placebo for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children using standardized attention and behavior scales, and other assessments. Both OROS® Methylphenidate HCl and Ritalin® contain the central nervous system stimulant, methylphenidate HCl.

This study will examine the effects of L-theanine (an amino acid found in green tea) on the behavior, cognitive performance and sleep quality of boys with ADHD.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the continued efficacy of modafinil treatment, compared to placebo treatment, in children and adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who are responders to modafinil treatment.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of CONCERTA® (methylphenidate hydrochloride, a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant) versus placebo for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adolescents..

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of three doses of prolonged-release methylphenidate (a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant) in adult patients with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
