Active clinical trials for "Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity"

This is a multicenter, dose-optimized, randomized, double-blind, efficacy and safety study with Azstarys® in children 4 to 12 years of age with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Azstarys® contains dexmethylphenidate (d-MPH) and serdexmethylphenidate (SDX), a prodrug of d-MPH and is orally adminstered. The primary objective is to determine the efficacy of Azstarys® compared to placebo in treating children ages 4 to 12 years old with ADHD. The study will consist of two randomized and blinded treatment cohorts ages 4 to 5 years of age and 6 to 12 years of age. 130 and 100 subjects will be enrolled respectively. Approximately 20 sites will participate.

The purpose of the proposed non-randomized waitlist-controlled design study is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and potential effectiveness of using a Videoconferencing-based Individual Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (FACT) approach to enhance the mental well-being of parents of children with special healthcare needs (SHCN) over a three-month period after the intervention has taken place.

Inattentiveness and impulsivity in healthy adults and individuals with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diminish these individuals' quality of life. Cortical hypometabolism has been hypothesized to contribute to inattentiveness in ADHD. Transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) is a safe and non-invasive modality for activation of the prefrontal cortex. tPBM in healthy adults has been shown to augment brain oxygenation, cognition, and mood. The cognition-enhancing effect of tPBM on sustained attention in adults with ADHD remains unstudied. The investigators will evaluate whether tPBM administration to adults with and without ADHD can improve their attention. Each participant will be screened for eighteen criteria based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV, text revised), using the validated instrument Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1). Blinded participants will be randomized into (I) Active-tPBM or (II) Sham-tPBM groups. After undergoing an 8-minute administration of Sham or 1064 nm tPBM to the lateral and medial right prefrontal cortex, each participant will complete a 14-minute, computer-based Conner's continuous performance task-3 (CPT-3). The investigators will examine whether adults with and without ADHD who receive Active-tPBM improve in measures of inattention, impulsivity, sustained attention, or vigilance compared to the Sham-tPBM group. Cognitive assessments of attention like the CPT-3 may evaluate the efficacy of tPBM to increase cortical metabolism in healthy adults and individuals with conditions like ADHD. The investigators anticipate their investigation will be a starting point for more sophisticated studies that focus on the implications of tPBM on cognition.

The objective of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of an at-home, game-based digital therapy for treating adult patients with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

This randomized controlled trial aims to examine the effectiveness of the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-based Asthma Management Training Program on the health outcomes of asthmatic children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and their caregivers over a 12-month post-intervention.

This study is a large multisite randomized clinical trial to asses the efficacy of external trigeminal nerve stimulation (TNS), a novel, minimal risk, non-invasive neuromodulation treatment, for ADHD in children ages 7-12 years old (N=180). Study hypotheses address potential differences in ADHD symptoms over 4 weeks treatment with active vs. sham TNS in an expanded multi-site investigation; whether resting state fronto-parietal connectivity mediates TNS impact on ADHD symptoms; if changes in fronto-parietal activation, as measured by electroencephalography (EEG), predict TNS-related treatment outcomes; and whether a baseline cognitive profile similarly predicts response to TNS therapy.

A Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, fixed-dose, parallel-group efficacy and safety study in a pediatric population (6-17) with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) using CTx-1301 (d-MPH). The study will be comprised of a screening period, a double-blind randomized phase, and a safety follow-up visit.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an important global health concern. Recently, advances in neurocritical care have led to an increase in the number of recovering TBI patients, and concomittantly in the incidence of complications of TBI. One of the most important sequalae of TBI is cognitive deficit, for which multimodal rehabilitation approach is indicated. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a promising treatment strategy for post-TBI cognitive deficits. However, a standardized tailored tDCS protocol is yet to be established for TBI patients. Therefore, this trial aims to 1) the efficacy of tDCS on post-TBI cognitive deficits, and 2) and optimized protocol of tDCS on post-TBI cognitive deficits via a three-arm double-blind, randomized controlled trial.

Methylphenidate (MPH) is the first-line pharmacological treatment for adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Nevertheless, there is considerable interindividual variability regarding the dose required, tolerability and response rates to MPH. The aim of this study is to address the clinical and genetic predictors of MPH treatment outcomes in ADHD.

Purpose: The primary purpose of the proposed project is to investigate the efficacy of Tier 1 and Tier 2 interventions delivered through a Response to Intervention (RTI) framework for children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Further, for children who do not respond to initial Tier 2 strategies, the proposed study will assess which additional course of intervention is most effective: (1) enhanced Tier 2 strategies or (2) stimulant medication. The majority of youth with ADHD are in general education settings, whether classified as special education students or not. Thus, experimentally evaluating the efficacy of well-developed and evidence-based behavioral interventions within a problem-solving framework such as RTI would significantly inform practice within school-based behavioral intervention teams. Project Activities: This study will employ a sequential multiple assignment randomized trial design (SMART). Prior to the beginning of the academic year, students will be randomly assigned to one of two conditions: (1) Business as Usual in which children receive whatever sequence of academic supports and interventions their teachers, school, and parents would typically put into place throughout the entire academic year and (2) an RTI approach to begin with Tier 1 classroom-wide management strategies with opportunities to add Tier 2 strategies for youth who do not respond to the initial Tier 1 approach.
