Active clinical trials for "Hyperkinesis"

This study evaluates the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of centanafadine sustained-release tablets in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Participants will either receive a twice-daily dose of centanafadine sustained-release tablets, or twice-daily placebo.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by problems with sustaining attention, organization, planning, procrastination, daydreaming, restlessness, impulsivity and hyperactivity.This is an outpatient study for subjects between the ages of 18-60, who have an Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnosis meeting all inclusion criteria and not meeting any of the exclusion criteria.

To date the effects of chiropractic care on behavior and neurological function in children diagnosed with ADHD has not been investigated thoroughly and is limited mostly to case studies and retrospective case reviews. Our research group recently completed a pilot study that investigated the effects of a single session of chiropractic care on oculomotor function and reading ability in children with ADHD. The findings of this study suggested that chiropractic care may have a role in improving oculomotor control and reading ability in this population group. This proposed study is the next step in this program of research and is a pilot clinical trial that will investigate whether 4 weeks of chiropractic care influences behavior, neurological function, or quality of life in children with ADHD.

This study is designed to test if Baduanjin training can reduce the hyperactive-impulsive symptoms of children with Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) compared to routine excise. Investigators will also evaluate if the Baduanjin training will positively affect Chinese Traditional Medicine (TCM) symptoms compared to controls and if these impacts are related to the change of the executive function.

This will be a prospective double-blinded randomized controlled trial comparing two pre-treatment protocols for patients undergoing intradetrussor botox injections to determine if a buffered lidocaine solution offers superior pain control.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), is a highly genetic and complex neurological disorder, where disruptive behavior, emotional imbalance, and lack of attention can interrupt with normal development of adolescents, self-awareness, and self-regulation in a way that has an impact on the family unit. Effective family intervention programs, that empower resilience and strength, to cope with the stressful situation from ADHD, are therefore needed. Nevertheless, there is a lack of knowledge regarding what type of interventions are the most effective for these families. As well as, little is known about the benefits of family-level intervention for families of adolescents with ADHD at outpatient care and what amount of combination in an intervention is appropriate. Psychiatric advanced practical nurse (APN) practitioners are in a key role to offer such an intervention. Therefore, the aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of offering a family-level intervention, for parents of 13-17 years old adolescents with ADHD, at a Children and Adolescents' Psychiatric Outpatient Unit (BUGL). Also, to evaluate if the intervention, which consists of group educational sessions, family sessions, and access to evidence-based information's on ADHD, fitted the families. A nurse-led educational and support intervention will be offered for parents of adolescents with ADHD once a week over a 5-week time period. First, there will be offered three group support sessions, with information about the general impact of the ADHD disorder on the family's daily life. Second, two special therapeutic conversations and support interviews will be offered to each family, where each parent can discuss their daily situation specifically and its impact on the family as a whole. Third, caregivers will have access to about 140 pages of evidence-based material on a closed website (pan pale) regarding the ADHD disorder in adolescents and its impact on the family. The outcome of this process will help in determining the feasibility of subjecting the intervention to a more expensive and time-consuming randomized controlled trial (RCT) study.

This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter study of the efficacy and safety of tolperisone (a non-opioid) or placebo administered in subjects with pain due to acute back muscle spasm.

The primary aim of this study is to assess whether naltrexone as a monotherapy is effective in treating Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults. Medications that increase dopamine are often effective in treating ADHD in adults. Since naltrexone is a kappa opioid receptor antagonist, it increases dopamine in the brain. We predict that naltrexone as a monotherapy will be effective for ADHD symptoms in adults with ADHD.

The purpose of this study is to determine effectiveness of Vyvanse compared to Concerta in adolescents with Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Background: - Some women with endometriosis have chronic pelvic pain. This pain may be caused by spasms of the pelvic floor muscles. These spasms can be detected by an examination. Studies suggest that botulinum toxin can help treat problems caused by muscle spasms. Researchers want to see if botulinum toxin injections into the pelvic floor muscles can decrease pain and spasms in women with pelvic pain. Objectives: - To see if botulinum toxin can relieve pain from pelvic floor spasm in women with pelvic pain. Eligibility: - Women between 18 and 50 years of age with pain associated with pelvic muscle spasm and endometriosis. Pain must be persistent (lasting for at least 3 months). Design: Participants will keep a pain diary and record their pain medication use for a month before the first visit. Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected. Participants will also answer questions about their pain levels and quality of life. Participants will receive either botulinum toxin or a placebo (salt water) injection. The injection will be given into the pelvic floor muscles through the vaginal wall. Participants will take a muscle relaxant like Valium and have anesthetic cream put on the vaginal wall before the injection. After the injection, participants will keep a pain diary for another month. At a 1-month followup visit, participants will answer questions about their pain. If the pain has not improved, all participants may have a botulinum toxin injection (no placebo) into the pelvic floor muscles as before. Participants will have followup visits for up to a year after the initial 1-month followup visit.
