Active clinical trials for "Hyperkinesis"

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

The overall goal of the present project is to investigate whether lisdexamphetamine (LDX; Vyvanse) is an effective adjunct to nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) to promote smoking cessation in patients with comorbid Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and nicotine dependence. The investigators hypothesized initially that smokers with ADHD who are optimized to a dose of LDX prior to quitting smoking and who remain on this dose of medication after quitting will remain abstinent longer than patients who are treated with placebo before and after quitting.However due to recent key issues that have arisen showing that initiation of stimulant treatment while subjects are actively smoking may facilitate increased smoking, and given that the study was still in the very early stage of study execution, the investigators revised the study design to use an empirically validated pretreatment approach with NRT and to initiate LDX treatment on the first post quit date in order to reduce the withdrawal symptoms that accompany smoking cessation. The overall rationale for this revised study design remains similar to the original.

The purpose of this trial is to determine if the study medication, CONCERTA (methylphenidate HCl), is safe and effective in improving academic performance and behavior in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), when compared to placebo.

The purpose of this study is to assess long-term safety and tolerability in adult patients who have completed a previous atomoxetine study.

The study is designed to investigate the acute treatment efficacy, safety, and tolerability of atomoxetine on a once-daily dosing strategy (in the morning). It incorporates a 6-week acute treatment period and a 2-week discontinuation phase. The assessments in this study include a standard assessment of ADHD symptomatology using a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition™, investigator-administered rating scale.

This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of extended release methylphenidate (XR-MPH) in treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children with both ADHD and epilepsy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of OROS® Methylphenidate HCl as compared with placebo and standard immediate-release Ritalin® (taken three time per day) for the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in children. Both OROS® Methylphenidate HCl and Ritalin® contain the central nervous system stimulant, methylphenidate HCl.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of OROS® Methylphenidate HCl (a central nervous system stimulant) in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

This study was designed to compare Concerta Extended Release tablets with Metadate CD capsules in children with ADHD who were between 6 and 12 years old. The effects on ADHD symptoms, and any side effects of treatment, were measured for 12 hours after dosing in a simulated classroom. The treatments were blinded and the effects were compared with a Placebo.

The purpose of this study is to develop and implement a treatment that focuses on behaviors to reduce symptom severity and functional impairment in patients with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Predominantly Inattentive Type (ADHD-I). The long-term goal of this study is to apply the treatment to larger-scale trials to determine its effectiveness and generalizability.
