Active clinical trials for "Hyperkinesis"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is effective in the treatment attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Randomized, double-blind Controlled Clinical Trial Subjects Adults (between 18 and 59 years of age) with ADHD who meet the inclusion criteria and who agree to participate in the study Will recruit from advertisements and clinical referrals to a PRODAH Active tDCS Anode - right DLPFC Cathode - left DLPFC Electric current is 2mA - Current is applied for 20 min Sham tDCS Same assembly is used Current is applied for 30 sec Both groups 5 stimulation sessions on consecutive days Following tools at Baseline, 1st week, 2 st week, 3st week and 4st week Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) SDS - Sheehan Disability Scale CGI - Clinical Global Impression

The primary purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of Lisdexamfetamine in Adults With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (SCT). This is a placebo controlled, cross-over clinical trial of oral Lisdexamfetamine Dimesylate 30-70mg/day in adults with attention-deficit hyper-activity disorder and Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (ACT). Patients will be assigned either LDX/Placebo for 10 weeks with a two week placebo washout period.

This project involves creating a novel and personalised BCI training system that targets social and communication difficulties, and inattentive symptoms problems often found in ASD/ADHD children. 20 participants between the age of 8 and 12 will be recruited and they will undergo 24 training sessions over an 8-week period. During these sessions, the children will play a computer game interface specifically designed to train attention and facial and emotional recognition, while using our BCI device. To further reinforce the treatment, the training system has been enhanced with the inclusion of an eye-tracker to target the lack of preferential eye contact that children with ASD exhibit. The investigators hypothesize that participants will show improvements in social skills and attention post treatment.

This study is designed to investigate effects on attentional performance and motoric activity of 100 mg microencapsulated glycine (Bidicin® from Biotiki®) compared to placebo after treatment with t.i.d. sublingual doses over 3 weeks each. The primary objective of the study is to determine the effects on attentional performance and motoric activity of 100 mg microencapsulated Glycine (Bidicin® from Biotiki® ) compared to placebo after treatment with t.i.d. sublingual doses over 3 weeks each in children with low attentional performance and high motoric activity. A number of 30 prepuberal boys and girls aged 6 - 14 years with low attentional performance and high motoric activity will be enrolled in this study. The prepuberal status will be determined by Tanner stages ≤ 3.

Pediatric PK study of SEP-225289 (Dasotraline)

The purpose of this study is to determine if tocotrienol supplementation given to school going children with ADHD will result in reduction of their ADHD symptoms.

This study looks to examine whether or not INTUNIV extended release can help children aged 6-12 years diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in improving Executive Function when added to their usual care stimulant therapy. Executive functions are a set of mental processes that include emotional control, planning, organization, working memory, inhibition of behaviors, and managing time and space. As children with ADHD usually have difficulties with Executive Function, and Executive function difficulties lead to more difficulties in school and behaviour, it is anticipated that adding INTUNIV extended release to usual stimulant therapy will improve Executive Function scores as rated by parents and teachers. Improvements in quality of life will also be measured.

This proposal seeks to obtain preliminary data on the potential efficacy, tolerability, and feasibility of trigeminal nerve stimulation (TNS) as a treatment for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). If successful, this open-label, exploratory, pilot study will provide a basis for a federal grant application and larger controlled trials.

Cognitive-behavioral based guided self-help for parents of children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is investigated in a feasibility and effectiveness study. The treatment is offered under routine-care conditions of the health-care system in Germany. Practicability, treatment participation and effectiveness is documented and tested in a one-group pre-test/post-test design.

This study will evaluate the long-term safety of methylphenidate hydrochloride extended release in adults with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder
