Active clinical trials for "Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity"

The purpose of this study is to determine if atomoxetine hydrochloride improves inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity problems in children exposed to alcohol during birth.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness and safety of OROS*methylphenidate/CONCERTA* vs. immediate release methylphenidate as a treatment for ADHD specifically for those children who have behavioural difficulties in the afternoon/after-school and evening periods.

The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy and tolerability of a 12-week trial of memantine hydrochloride administered twice daily in 20 adults (ages 18-55) with ADHD and ADHD NOS. Improvement will be defined as: 1) changes from baseline on the investigator-rated DSM-IV based ADHD Rating Scale; 2) changes from baseline in a questionnaire aimed at assessing executive functions (BRIEF); and 3) changes from screening in a computerized neuropsychological battery (CANTAB). We hypothesize that memantine hydrochloride will be associated with improving ADHD symptoms and associated deficits in executive functions. We also expect that memantine will be well-tolerated with predictable adverse events.

The objective is to assess overall safety and tolerability of atomoxetine in doses up to 120 mg/day in Japanese adult patients who meet Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) criteria for ADHD

This study will determine the effectiveness of integrated parent training versus standard behavioral parent training in treating depression and stress in mothers of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

The purpose of this study is to provide data on the effectiveness of the OROS Methylphenidate Hydrochloride (HCl) formulation compared to placebo and standard immediate-release Ritalin with respect to improving attention and behavior, and decreasing hyperactivity in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Both OROS Methylphenidate HCl and Ritalin contain the central nervous system stimulant, methylphenidate HCl. The safety associated with the two methylphenidate formulations will also be compared with placebo.

The overall primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that, compared with placebo,administration of atomoxetine will result in an improved work productivity.

Atomoxetine versus placebo in Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of SPD465 compared to placebo (a capsule with no medication in it) in the treatment of ADHD. The study will also look at how SPD465 affects the participants sleep and how they perceive their quality of life.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of SPD503 compared to placebo on tasks of sustained attention in children and adolescents aged 6-17 diagnosed with ADHD.
