Active clinical trials for "Hyperkinesis"

This study is a 12-week open-label trial to assess the effectiveness of Omega-3 fatty acids for deficient emotional self-regulation (DESR) as a supplement to Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) treatment in children and adolescents with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Subjects will be between the ages of 6-17 and will currently be on medication for their Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder but still experience DESR traits.

This study is a multisite, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2/3 study of MG01CI (1400 mg daily) for 6 weeks compared with placebo in a 1:1 ratio of 300 adults with ADHD.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate, by way of randomized controlled trial, the effectiveness of a web-based, time-flexible, and teacher-directed "Teacher Help for ADHD" program in reducing the impact of ADHD symptoms in elementary students.

This study will evaluate clinical efficacy and safety of treatment with YY-162 in children with ADHD.

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

This multi-center parallel study is designed to study the efficacy and safety of fixed doses of methylphenidate extended release (ER) capsules of four dose levels compared with a placebo group in pediatric patients with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) who are between 6 and 18 years old.

For children and adolescents, how does SPD503 compare to placebo for the treatment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

This study tests the effects of an investigational antipsychotic drug (called OPC-34712) in adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) when taken with an approved stimulant medication to explore a possible impact on sleep, quality of life and cognitive function.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness and length of effect of Vyvanse on lessening Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder symptoms in adults. The study will also investigate the safety and tolerability of Vyvanse in adults with ADHD.

Severe mood dysregulation (SMD) is a very common syndrome in children. Its symptoms include very severe irritability, including persistent anger and frequent outbursts, as well as distractibility, hyperactivity, and other symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Many children with SMD receive the diagnosis of bipolar disorder (BD) in the community, although they do not have clear manic episodes (with symptoms such as extreme happiness and decreased need for sleep). Because SMD has not been studied in depth, we do not know which medications are most helpful to those with SMD. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of the stimulant medication methylphenidate (MPH, more commonly known as Ritalin ) when combined (or not combined) with the antidepressant citalopram (Celexa ) in treating symptoms of SMD in children and adolescents. This study will provide information about how to treat SMD in youth. This study will include approximately 80 patients between 7 and 17 years of age with SMD. The patient s symptoms must have started before age 12. The study will consist of four phases carried out over 4 to 5 months. During Phase 1, the patient will undergo blood and urine tests, and will gradually taper off his or her medication. The duration of this phase depends on the patient s medication before starting the study. In Phase 2, the patient remains off all medication for 1 week. In Phase 3, the patient will be treated with MPH for 2 weeks, and then will be randomly assigned to receive either MPH plus citalopram or MPH plus a placebo for a further 8 weeks. In Phase 4, the researchers will evaluate the effectiveness of the medications taken, and begin an open treatment phase using medications that they deem appropriate for that patient (this may include MPH with citalopram and/or other medication combinations). Most patients will be admitted to the Pediatric Behavioral Health Unit at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center during the medication withdrawal part of the study (Phases 1 and 2). From Phase 3 on, a patient may participate as an inpatient, outpatient, or in day treatment, depending on what is in his or her best interests. ...
