Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for University Students Diagnosed With Attention-deficit Hyperactivity...

Attention-deficit Hyperactivity

Drug treatment is often the first and only line of treatment available for ADHD. However, some do not benefit from medication. The importance of psychotherapy is becoming more widely accepted. In this study a group of university students diagnosed with ADHD will be offered cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) in groups. The treatment will be provided by a Clinical Nurse Specialist in psychiatric nursing (CNS), in cooperation with school counsellors at the University of Iceland and the Reykjavík University. Brief CBT treatment will be offered, i.e. six group sessions, once a week over a period of six weeks. Little is known about the effects of CBT for adults diagnosed with ADHD. The study could provide knowledge about the effects of CBT on depression, anxiety and ADHD, and on attitudes, for individuals with ADHD. The resulting knowledge might lead to improved well-being and increased quality of life.

Pilot Testing PREschooler Care, Community Resources, Advocacy, Referral, Education (PRE-CARE)

Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity DisorderInattention

The goal of this proposed study is to pilot test a novel treatment model (PRE-CARE) addressing unmet social needs for families of preschool-age children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms. The investigators will conduct an adaptive, pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the intervention with parents of 60 low-income children age 3-5 (36-71 months) with ADHD symptoms in order to: optimize intervention delivery; field test study logistics (e.g., recruitment, enrollment, randomization, retention); explore putative intervention mechanisms; and obtain estimates of study parameters to plan an appropriately powered RCT of the intervention. The PRE-CARE intervention is adapted from Well Child Care, Evaluation, Community, Resources, Advocacy, Referral, Education (WE CARE), a screening and referral intervention that has been shown to be feasible and effective in addressing the family psychosocial stressors of low-income families seen in pediatric medical homes. Given the negative impact that socioeconomic stressors can have on the health and development of young children with ADHD symptoms, tailored interventions such as PRE-CARE may serve as a vital early intervention strategy to promote long-term well-being.

Acute Effects of Exercise in College Students With ADHD

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity DisorderEffects of; Exertion2 more

The overall objective of this study is to examine physical exercise as an intervention for ADHD. The rationale for the proposed study is that physical exercise could serve as an effective treatment for college students with ADHD that has low costs, low risks, and ancillary health benefits and may address the limitations of existing treatments. The central hypothesis is that college students with ADHD will exhibit greater degrees of improvement in executive functioning (i.e., sustained attention, working memory) immediately following sprint interval training (SIT), relative to non-ADHD peers. This hypothesis was formulated based on preliminary studies demonstrating reduced ADHD symptoms and improved executive functioning following physical exercise. Multiple 2 (ADHD vs. control) x 2 (male vs. female) x 2 (exercise vs. none) repeated measures ANOVAs will be conducted to compare students with ADHD (n = 24) to controls (n = 24). The expected outcomes are to confirm this hypothesis and demonstrate the need for further study of physical exercise. If confirmed, the results will provide pilot data for a larger NIH grant proposal aimed at further examining the acute effects of physical exercise (i.e., improved cognitive functioning immediately following exercise) and also the chronic effects of physical exercise (i.e., improved functioning after engaging in regular exercise for an extended period). This outcome is expected to have an important positive impact because physical exercise may serve as an effective treatment for college students with ADHD that is less risky than stimulants, less time-consuming than therapy, and provides ancillary health benefits (i.e., increasing physical fitness, decreasing obesity).

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Adults With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Inattentive...

ADHD Predominantly Inattentive Type

Using a randomized controlled design, standard treatment of group cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) according to the Hesslinger protocol is compared to a newly developed group treatment specifically designed for adult patients with ADHD inattentive presentation (ADHD-I) called CBT for ADHD-I (CADDI). Research setting is psychiatric outpatient clinics. Research hypotheses include: 1. The CADDI protocol is more effective than standard treatment in terms of behavioral activation, procrastination, depressive symptoms, functional impairment, and quality of life, 2. Is equally effective in terms of ADHD symptoms, 3. Is more appreciated and tolerable, and 4. Outcome is mediated by mindful awareness. Effects are followed up at 6 and 12 months post treatment.

Sleep IntervEntion as Symptom Treatment for ADHD

ADHDSleep2 more

Up to 72% of adolescents with ADHD portray sleep problems. The most common sleep difficulties in adolescents with ADHD are initial insomnia, nocturnal awakenings, non-restorative or restless sleep. These difficulties seem to be causally related to increased ADHD symptom impairment, oppositional and depressive symptomatology, and functional impairments in daily life, resulting in a vicious circle of sleep problems and impairment. Thus, reducing sleep problems is an important intervention target. However, to date there is no evidence-based cognitive behavioral sleep treatment available. Sleep-focused treatments need adaptation towards this developmental phase/disorder for effectiveness, as ADHD and sleep problems are bi-directional. Therefore, a blended treatment targeting the core deficits integrating motivational interviewing, planning skills and sleep interventions is needed. Thus, the aim of this project is testing the short and 3 months follow-up effectiveness of the blended CBT sleep intervention in adolescents with ADHD.

Does Cultivating Self-compassion Improve Resilience to Criticism and Improve Mental Health in Adults...

ADHDDepression5 more

This study aims to investigate the effect that increasing levels of self-compassion may have on levels of perceived criticism, self-criticism, and mental health of adults with ADHD. A secondary aim of the study is to capture how feasible using an online self-guided self-compassion practice maybe with people with ADHD. Research Questions Does a short self-guided self-compassion intervention increase levels of state and/or trait self-compassion in adults with ADHD over time? Are changes in state and/or trait self-compassion associated with changes in levels of self-criticism or perceived criticism? Are changes in state and/or trait self-compassion associated with improvements in mental health? Are changes in mental health mediated by changes in self-criticism or perceived criticism?

Low-dose vs. Normal-dose Psychostimulants on Executive Functions in Individuals With ADHD

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders

This double-blind crossover study aims to compare cognitive performance (e.g., working memory, selective attention and cognitive flexibility) of children ages 6-18 years diagnosed with ADHD of the combined type (ADHD-C) or inattentive-type (ADHD-IA) and currently on > 20 mg/day of psychostimulants (psychostimulants) on: a) their current dose of psychostimulants, vs. b) a lower-dose of psychostimulants (half of their current dose). The investigators hypothesize that the lower-dose psychostimulants will result in better cognitive performance than moderate-to-high doses of psychostimulants.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Prediction of Treatment Response

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

This is a 6-month trial in adults to find out if certain neuromarkers can predict individual treatment response to stimulant medications for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Males and females, ages 18-45, will complete an MRI scan at MIT prior to beginning medication for ADHD as determined by a treating clinician outside the context of this study.
