Active clinical trials for "Hyperkinesis"

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.

This is a qualitative study of participants who have taken part in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) of a new treatment protocol based on cognitive-behavioral therapy for adults with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder predominantly inattentive presentation. The purpose of the qualitative study is to explore participant perceptions of taking part in the RCT to further develop and improve the new treatment protocol.

A double-blind, placebo controlled study of solriamfetol for adults age 18 to 65 with diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent symptoms of inattention and/or hyperactivity and impulsivity that are present before age 18. These symptoms must be evident across ADHD treatment is currently based on a multimodal approach with the combination of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy, but no reliable markers of treatment response have been identified yet and 20-35% of subjects in clinical trials may have an inadequate response to the treatment The gut microbiome refers to the microbial ecosystem found in the gastrointestinal system of the human species Probiotics are a type of beneficial bacteria that improve health and facilitate intestinal microbial balance Increasing evidence suggests that the gut microbiota plays a key role in the gut-brain communication axis by influencing metabolism, inflammation, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, and neurotransmission multiple domains and cause Impairment in functioning in order to meet the diagnostic criteria for ADHD

Neurofeedback is increasingly advocated for treatment of ADHD despite a thin evidence base. The numerous open and partially controlled studies suffer serious design flaws. In particular, there is no published double-blind randomized clinical trial (RCT), which would control for experimenter and participant biases. The primary aim of this R34 pilot study is to conduct a small-scale pilot with 39 8-12 year-olds with ADHD to prepare for such a larger RCT.

The treatment of ADHD in jail will help the prisoners in their rehabilitation process

This study is a single arm, open-label, pilot study to assess midline frontal theta (MFT) power as measured by stimulus-locked electroencephalogram (EEG) before and after treatment with AKL-T01 for improving attention in pediatric participants ages 8-12 years old with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

This is PART B of a 2-part, 6-week, double-blind, dose-optimization, parallel-group study in children and adolescents (ages 6-17 years) with ADHD with and without CNVs in specific genes implicated in glutamatergic signaling and neuronal activity. PART B will assess subjects who do not have CNVs in any of the specific gene mutation(s) implicated in glutamatergic signaling and neuronal connectivity.

A multimodal intervention was rolled out at a large public school in Najibabad, Uttar Pradesh (UP). The program identified elementary school children with ADHD and Dyslexia using standard screening of all children who had performance impairment in at least one domain of the Vanderbilt questionnaire. The program consisted of play therapy, physical exercise, yoga and meditation. The program was established by High school volunteers from The US and UK over 6 weeks. Once implemented during the morning of school, high school volunteers from the school were trained to continue the program. Vanderbilt questionnaires were completed at intervals to allow follow up.

It is assumed that only 1/5 of children diagnosed with attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are treated. New treatment modalities are urgently needed. Omega-3 fatty acids have been used in this setting, yet results are conflicting. The parent omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) has only been used in one trial. 40 children diagnosed with ADHD will be randomized to consume either ALA or placebo for two months. Baseline and end assessments will include ADHD-related questionnaires and a computerized test. The investigators hypothesize that ALA supplementation will prove beneficial for children with ADHD.
