Active clinical trials for "Hyperkinesis"

With the pharmacokinetics (PK) of centanafadine currently being evaluated in adults. The PK of extended-release centanafadine may differ in children compared to adults due to physiological differences in the gastrointestinal tract. The information in this trial will support pediatric dose selection in future trials.

Patients on chronic stimulant therapy for the treatment of Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who are undergoing an outpatient surgical or diagnostic procedure will be randomized to one of two groups: stimulant medication administered on the day of surgery or stimulant medication withheld on the day of surgery. The choice of anesthetic pharmacology will be at the discretion of the attending anesthesiologist, but the endpoint will be a bispectral index (BIS) between 40 and 60 to ensure adequate and similar depth of anesthesia. Blood pressure, heart rate and use of vasopressors or anticholinergics will be recorded and the incidence of hypotension, bradycardia, or administration of medications will be compared between the two groups.

This pilot intervention study will test the feasibility and acceptability and explore the outcomes of an urban, primary care-based intervention to measure families' preferences and goals for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) treatment and structure clinical care to reach these goals.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that atomoxetine is superior to other early standard therapy (any treatment that investigator considers is appropriate to initiate for the treatment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder [ADHD]) on the long term functioning in approximately 400 children and adolescents with ADHD. Patients will be pharmacological naïve prior to entry into the study.

Open-label trial of Atomoxetine to Evaluate Academic Outcome in Children Ages 8-11 years with Attention- Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Double blinded clinical trial placebo controlled in 153 children (planned enrollment) with recent diagnosis of ADHD. Patients will be randomized to atomoxetine or placebo arm (2:1). The double blinded period will last 12 weeks and the treatment open phase will last up to 1 year, and atomoxetine treatment will be administered. A gatekeeper strategy will be employed for sequentially testing the secondary objectives.

The investigators will conduct a randomized placebo-controlled trial of a computerized intervention targeting working memory in 30 children with comorbid Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Tourette Syndrome (TS).

The goal of this project is to develop and test a brief protocol designed to systematically integrate pharmacological interventions for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) into behavioral treatment services for adolescent substance users with co-morbid ADHD in everyday care. Primary study aims will yield proof-of-concept data on MIP feasibility and fidelity in usual care and evidence of MIP impact on psychiatric and behavioral services utilization, medication acceptance and compliance, and satisfaction with treatment services.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether working memory training improves behavioral symptoms, neurocognitive performance, and neural functioning in young children with ADHD.

LYDO is a multi-center study that will enroll approximately 1925 adult outpatients with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Patients will receive, under open label conditions, atomoxetine up to 100 mg/day during the acute, open-label part of the study. Those patients that meet the response criteria will continue the blind phase of the study up to a year. During that period, patients that respond to atomoxetine will be randomized to continue the treatment with atomoxetine or with placebo (neither the patients nor investigators know if patients receive atomoxetine or placebo).
