Active clinical trials for "Hyperkinesis"

The primary objective of this trial is to determine whether an oral administration of Phosphatidylserine-Omega3 would significantly improve the clinical symptoms of children suffering from ADHD. Both the behavior and the academic achievements aspects will be evaluated. In addition, we intend to measure side-effects and adverse events and to examine the possible correlation between biochemical and behavioral alterations.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of an investigational treatment for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) when compared to placebo.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of atomoxetine alone versus atomoxetine plus low-dose, sustained-release MPH in children with treatment-resistant ADHD.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a developmental disorder that presents during childhood, and is characterized by developmentally inappropriate levels of inattention and/or hyperactive-impulsive behavior. It is proposed that classical homeopathic treatment can reduce the symptoms of ADHD without serious side effects. This is an open label pilot feasibility study (36 participants). Participants, age 6-16, will consult with a homeopathic practitioner who will select treatments based on classical homeopathy principles. All participants will be assessed on a 4-weekly basis for a total of 36 weeks. The purpose of the study is to assess feasibility of recruitment and patient retention, to obtain pilot data on which to base a sample size calculation for future study, and to identify major safety concerns. The study will use single homeopathic medicines approved for over-the-counter use in Canada. The primary outcome measure will be the validated Conners 3rd Edition - Parent.

This study will test the efficacy of a systematic, multi-modal intervention protocol designed to improve sleep functioning and subsequent alleviation of daytime cognitive and behavioral difficulties among children diagnosed with ADHD. It is hypothesized that children receiving behavioral and (if necessary) pharmacologic interventions targeting sleep will display improvement on objective and subjective sleep measures, neuropsychological tests, and teacher-, and parent-ratings of ADHD behaviors.

A multi center, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of eszopiclone compared to placebo in children (6-11 years of age, inclusive) and adolescents (12-17 years of age, inclusive) with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) associated insomnia.

The study will evaluate the efficacy of LDX treatment group compared to placebo on the change from Baseline ADHD-RS-IV score at endpoint.

The purpose of this study is to test if the investigational medication ABT-089 is a safe and effective treatment for children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

The purpose of this study is to determine whether CLONICEL® (clonidine HCl sustained release) is a safe and effective treatment for children and adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Evaluate the efficacy of treatment with ADDERALL XR and STRATTERA compared to placebo on simulated driving safety and performance of young adults with ADHD as measured by Driving Safety Scores derived by the Driving Simulator.
