Active clinical trials for "Hyperkinesis"

This is a 6-month trial in adults to find out if certain neuromarkers can predict individual treatment response to stimulant medications for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Males and females, ages 18-45, will complete an MRI scan at MIT prior to beginning medication for ADHD as determined by a treating clinician outside the context of this study.

The aim of this study is to develop an application in order to identify the most relevant cognitive and behavioral parameters for the diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in conditions closer to reality

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common psychiatric disorder, with a prevalence among adults of 2.5%. The disorder is diagnosed based on impairing levels of inattentive, hyperactive and impulsive behaviours. Most adults with ADHD present with additional mental health problems. Adults with ADHD have an increased risk to develop so-called cardiometabolic illnesses, such as type-2 diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease (e.g., heart failure). However, detailed knowledge about the screening, diagnosis and management of adults with ADHD and co-occurring cardiometabolic illnesses is lacking. The purpose of ART-CARMA is to (1) obtain real-world data from adults with ADHD daily life on the extent to which ADHD medication treatment and physical activity, individually and jointly, may influence cardiometabolic risks in adults with ADHD, and (2) obtain real-world data of patterns of taking ADHD medication and reasons for not taking medication, over a remote monitoring period of 12 months. ART-CARMA benefits from the ADHD Remote Technology ('ART') assessment and monitoring system for adults with ADHD (developed by Kuntsi, Dobson, et al.), and the RADAR-base mobile-health platform to which it is linked (developed by Dobson et al; http://www.radar-base.org). ART consists of both active (e.g., questionnaires) and passive (smartphone and a wearable device) monitoring. ART-CARMA will use remote measurement technology (RMT) in adults with ADHD to carry out unobtrusive, real-time data collection over a continuous period of 12 months. By recruiting 300 adults from adult ADHD clinic waiting lists (and a partner/family member/close friend for each of them) and monitoring them remotely, we will obtain objectively measured data relevant to cardiometabolic risk profiles from their daily lives. By targeting the period before starting any ADHD medication through to starting treatment and the subsequent period, up to 12 months in total, we obtain real-time data on multiple parameters, including side effects, that can inform the personalisation of treatment.

The aim of our study to compare the effect of cognitive behavioral therapy and motor learning techniques in adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. and help the adults to address and revise cognitive distortions and habits affecting your productivity and emotional mindset.participant allocated to control group will be asked to perform cognitive behavioural therapy and participants allocated to experimental group will be asked to perform motor learning activities and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Inhibitory control allows individuals to suppress unwanted actions and to resist irrelevant stimuli. It is thought to be a core deficit in Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The present study aims at evaluating this deficit in adults with ADHD. Executive and inhibitory capacities, as well as the neural mechanisms underlying inhibitory control, will be assessed in adults with ADHD and two control groups of participants.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is characterized by poor attention, impulsivity, hyperactivity and emotional-motivational dysregulation. Here, we will test if repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can reduce the symptoms of ADHD.

After an episode of facial paralysis, as nerves recover, they aberrantly regenerate and send additional branches to the incorrect muscles in addition to the intended muscle. This leads to what is known as Aberrant Regeneration Syndrome, Post-paralysis Synkinesis, or Nonflaccid Facial Paralysis. It is characterized by poor facial symmetry and function, hypertonic facial muscles at rest, and abnormal facial movements. One sequela is acquired blepharoptosis causing a smaller ocular aperture, visual field obstruction, cosmetic deformity, and abnormal periocular spasms. This study aims to evaluate an FDA approved medication for acquired blepharoptosis due to synkinesis/hyperkinesis as an adjunct to treatment.

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of SPN-812 (viloxazine extended release) in children 4 to 5 years of age with ADHD.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) unlike X-rays and CT-scans does not use radiation to create a picture. MRI use as the name implies, magnetism to create pictures with excellent anatomical resolution. Functional MRIs are diagnostic tests that allow doctors to not only view anatomy, but physiology and function. It is for these reasons that MRIs are excellent methods for studying the brain. In this study, researchers will use MRI to assess brain anatomy and function in X and Y chromosome variation, healthy volunteers, and patients with a variety of childhood onset psychiatric disorders. The disorders include attention deficit disorder, autism, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, childhood-onset schizophrenia, dyslexia, obsessive compulsive disorder, Sydenham's chorea, and Tourette's syndrome. Results of the MRIs showing the anatomy of the brain and brain function will be compared across age, sex (gender), and diagnostic groups. Correlations between brain and behavioral measures will be examined for normal and clinical populations.

To assess the effectiveness and security of a mobile App (beta version) for self-managing emotion dysregulation in a pragmatic randomized controlled trial with 80 adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder comparing 40 patients with treatment as usual (TAU) with 40 patients with TAU plus the mobile App
