Active clinical trials for "Hyperkinesis"

It is hypothesized that, when given at the lowest effective dose, the favorable side effect profile combined with it's lower propensity for weight gain would make SPN-810 a candidate for treatment of persistent serious conduct problems in pediatric subjects with ADHD.

This study is a single site, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled parallel group design. this study is designed to directly examine the efficacy of a single daily dose of atomoxetine taken in the morning in alleviating sleep initiation insomnia in children with ADHD. Primary outcome measures are sleep parameters, specifically mean sleep onset latency (time of onset to persistent sleep), as measured by actigraphy/sleep diary, and parent and child-reported evening settling difficulties, as measured on the evening subscale items of the parent and child versions of the DPREMB-R. Secondary outcome measures include: additional actigraphic sleep parameters (night wakings, sleep duration, and sleep efficiency), daytime sleepiness (Pediatric Daytime Sleepiness Scale, sleepiness visual analogue scale (VAS), and morning behaviors on the DPREMB-R); ADHD symptom improvement (ADHD-RS, parent version; provider-completed CGI); a neurocognitive measure of attention and impulsivity (CPT); executive functions (Brown ADD Scale for Children) and functional outcomes/quality of life (CHQ).

There is a scarcity of clinical trials assessing the effects of medications in children with bipolar disorder. This study aims to assess the efficacy of Aripiprazole associated with Methylphenidate (MPH)for the treatment of children and adolescents with bipolar disorder comorbid with ADHD who improve in maniac symptoms while receiving aripiprazole but did not have an adequate response in ADHD symptoms. The study design is a 4-week randomized, double blind, cross-over group trial. Patients were randomized to aripiprazole + MPH or aripiprazole + placebo. The main hypothesis is: Aripiprazole + MPH will significantly reduce ADHD scores compared to aripiprazole + placebo.

To determine whether supplementation of omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid conjugated to phosphatidylserine rather than triglycerides (fish oil) could affect Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptoms in children.

There has been an increased interest in the association between ADHD and sleep disorders over the past years. A high incidence of sleep disturbance, ranging from 10% to 70%, has been identified in ADHD children regardless of whether or not they are receiving stimulant therapy. This study will assess the safety and efficacy of zolpidem in children with ADHD associated insomnia.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of methylphenidate HCL extended-release tablets at five dose levels in adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of methylphenidate HCl extended-release tablets at five dose levels compared to placebo in adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of NRP104 administered as a daily morning dose (30, 50, and 70mg/day) compared to placebo in adults (18-55 years of age inclusive) diagnosed with moderate to severe Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of three NRP104 doses of 30 mg, 50 mg, or 70 mg, administered at the same time daily, in the treatment of adults with ADHD.

This is a Phase 2 multicenter, randomized, double-blind trial of MK-8777 (Org 26576, SCH 900777) in adult subjects with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). MK-8777 or placebo will be administered in a crossover fashion for two 3-week treatment periods. The two 3-week treatment periods will be separated by a 2-week placebo washout period. The primary objective is to compare the efficacy of various doses of MK-8777 to that of placebo in the treatment of ADHD symptoms in adults.
