PK/PD Pediatric ADHD Classroom Study
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity DisorderThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the association between blood drug levels and the corresponding scores of commonly used behavioral instruments based upon data collected following administration of three different methylphenidate hydrochloride extended-release drug products in children with ADHD.
Cognitive Training in Children With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)ADHD is associated with cognitive deficit. Therefore, cognitive training is often proposed as an intervention for ADHD that targets cognitive deficits, with specific exercises through intensive training sessions. This intervention is based on principles of brain plasticity and cerebral functional reorganizations. Working memory deficits constitute a key impairment in ADHD. That is why, Cogmed working memory training is the most commonly used and studied cognitive training program in clinical practice and research. It is clear from most studies that Cogmed training program increases working memory in ADHD. However, transfer of learning is not demonstrated on: other cognitive functions that are not targeted by the program, on ADHD symptoms, nor on academic achievement. In addition to this type of intervention multi-factorial program targeting different cognitive function as Presco also exist but have been less studied. To address these challenges, this study will follow a randomized and controlled design. The main objective of this study is to examine the impact of cognitive training in comparison with a control waiting-list group among children with ADHD on: ADHD symptoms, cognitive functioning, attentional capacities academic achievement. The second objective is to compare two types of cognitive training a unifactorial program Cogmed targeting working memory and a multifactorial Presco focusing on different cognitive functions affected by ADHD. Long-term effects are examined six months after training. Participants (n=90) will be randomly assigned to the two experimental group (Cogmed or Presco) or to the control group waiting list. Participants will be evaluated three time (time 1) just before the intervention, (time 2) six weeks after the first evaluation, immediately after the intervention and (time 3) six months after the intervention.
L-Threonic Acid Magnesium Salt (L-TAMS) in ADHD
Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity DisorderADHDThis study is a 12-week, open-label pilot study to test the effects of MMFS-201-301 on cognition and function in adults with ADHD. Subjects may enter the trial on a stable dose of medication for ADHD, and MMFS-201-301 will be given. Subjects who do not enter on a stable dose of ADHD medication will receive MMFS-201-301 alone.
Safety and Efficacy Study of Centanafadine Sustained-Release (CTN SR) in Adults With Attention-Deficit...
Attention Deficit Disorder With HyperactivityThis was a Phase 2b, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, 2-period, 2-treatment, crossover study to evaluate safety and efficacy of CTN SR compared with placebo in adults with ADHD. Efficacy was also evaluated in the subgroup of adults with ADHD treated with a target CTN SR dose of 400 mg/day.
Group-based Cognitive-behavioral Therapy for Adults With Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder...
Attention Deficit Disorder With HyperactivityThe newly developed CBT for ADHD inattentive-type (ADHD-I) protocol is tested for feasibility and acceptability in a pilot study with a single group design. The study also evaluates measurements and recruiting possibilities, and effects of the intervention. Research hypotheses include: 1. There is a basis for recruiting ADHD-I patients for participation in an RCT at psychiatric outpatient units, 2. The measurements in the study are feasible and reasonable in regards to patient characteristics; that is, the patients are responding to the questionnaires as intended, 3. The CBT for ADHD-I intervention is feasible in terms of treatment completion, compliance to home assignments, and credibility and relevance, and is lacking of or involves a tolerable degree of adverse effects, and 4. The CBT for ADHD-I protocol reduces core symptoms of ADHD-I as well as symptoms of stress, depression, and anxiety, and improves quality of life.
a2 Milk for Autism and Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
AutismAttention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder1 moreUnder double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over conditions, the short-term effects of use of A1 beta casein free milk (a2 milk) and milk containing A1 beta casein will be compared in a sample of pre-pubescent boys diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with concurrent features of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Treatment of Cannabis Use Disorder Among Adults With Comorbid Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder...
Cannabis Use DisorderAttention-deficit/Hyperactivity DisorderThe proposed protocol is a double-blind, placebo-controlled outpatient study of the safety and benefit of Extended-release mixed amphetamine salt (Adderall-XR, MAS-XR) in the treatment of individuals with Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) and Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The investigators plan to enroll 50 and randomize 40 of these patients in the trial. The primary objective of the study is to determine the efficacy of MAS-XR in promoting cannabis abstinence among individuals with CUD and in promoting a decrease of ADHD symptoms.
Cognitive-Motor Rehabilitation, Stimulant Drugs, and Active Control in the Treatment of ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity DisorderThe investigators administered a randomized controlled trial (RCT) through random assignment of children with ADHD into three different groups to compare the effects of cognitive-motor rehabilitation, immediate release methylphenidate, and an active control on the executive functioning, learning, and behavioral symptoms of children with ADHD.
Mazindol Controlled Release in Adults With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Attention Deficit Disorder With HyperactivityThe purpose of this study is to determine whether a controlled release formulation of mazindol is more effective than a placebo in the treatment of Attention Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults.
Helping College Students With ADHD Lead Healthier Lifestyles
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity DisorderAlcohol-Related Disorders1 moreThere are currently no published randomized controlled studies examining psychosocial interventions for college students with ADHD, and none specifically targeting AUDs in this population at any age, despite the clear indication from emerging research of the need for such interventions. In the current study, the investigators will develop BA-based treatment intended to increase involvement in healthy, goal-directed activities (e.g., academic, recreational or social activities) and to reduce problematic drinking behaviors and other risk behaviors (e.g., unsafe sex) among college students with ADHD (Behavioral Activation for Attention & Alcohol Disorders; BAAAD). Finalized treatment manuals, altered based on focus group feedback, will be tested in a stage I randomized controlled trial (RCT) among 80 college students randomized to BMI + BAAAD or BMI + supportive counseling (SC). The investigators expect that BMI + BAAAD will be successful with college students with ADHD, in terms of decreasing the escalation of problematic alcohol use behaviors, as compared to BMI + SC. This treatment development study will set the stage for larger-scale RCTs.
