Active clinical trials for "Hyperkinesis"

The purpose of this protocol is to investigate the acute treatment efficacy, safety, and tolerability of atomoxetine on a once-daily dosing strategy in Taiwanese children and adolescents with ADHD.

This study is designed to assess efficacy and safety of NRP-104 administered as a daily dose of 30mg, 50mg or 70mg compared to placebo in the treatment of children aged 6-12 years with ADHD.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of ABT-089 in adults with ADHD.

This study will evaluate atomoxetine's efficacy in treating attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and atomoxetine's effect on functional outcomes in young adults. A gatekeeper strategy will be employed for sequentially testing the secondary objectives. This study also has an observational community sample arm in which patients will complete all the efficacy measurements via web-based self reporting.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the clinical benefit of switching children with ADHD from immediate-release methylphenidate (IR-MPH) to OROS-methylphenidate under the correct dosage conversion scheme.

This study will assess whether adding a mood stabilizer, divalproex sodium, to stimulant treatment is more effective than stimulant treatment alone in reducing aggressive behavior among children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

The purpose of this study is to provide information regarding the relative effectiveness of three different atomoxetine doses in the treatment of Korean children and adolescents with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

This is an open label pilot study to obtain information on the best way to study young adolescents with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)who may also be at risk of developing substance abuse, in part because of their ADHD. The plan is to recruit older children/young adolescents (age 11-15) who have ADHD and also have an older sibling with substance abuse. The treatment for ADHD in the 11-15 year old will be Vyvanse, a novel preparation of dextroamphetamine in which the molecule is inactivated and only becomes activated when it is digested. This preparation is felt to be safer from diversion while at the same time providing treatment for the younger siblings in which a bad outcome has already occurred in the family, namely the older sibling's substance abuse. As mentioned, this is an open-label study, a feasibility study to see if we can use this approach to study and treat high risk youth before they develop substance abuse.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate how safe and how well SPD465 works compared to placebo in adults with ADHD. It is hypothesized that SPD465 will achieve an extended duration of clinical benefit.

This study will determine the effectiveness of group cognitive-behavioral therapy as compared to a problem-solving social support group in treating problems of time management, organization, and planning in adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
