NCT06810180
Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can present differently in individuals, with some individuals having difficulty with attentional control, hyperactivity, impulsivity, emotion dysregulation, and/or neurobehavioral functioning. The factors contributing to these different presentations remain unclear, but altered patterns of physical activity, sleep, and circadian rest/activity rhythms may play a key role. The goal of this study is to leverage wearable technology (i.e., a wristband) to investigate the relationships between physical activity during the day, sleep patterns and disturbances, and 24-hour circadian rest/activity rhythms with differences in ADHD symptoms, emotion dysregulation, and related brain and behavioral features of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The investigators hope this study will help improve assessment and intervention for individuals with ADHD by understanding how these factors relate to ADHD symptom expression and associated brain differences in ADHD. Participants taking stimulant medication must withhold stimulant medication 24 hours before their research appointment and the morning of their research appointment. Stimulant medication may be restarted after the appointment is complete. Participation in this study will require children to complete an initial 2-hour research appointment, two (2) weeks of activity and sleep monitoring at home using a wearable wristband and answering questions sent to a smartphone, and a second 4-hour research appointment after the 2-week period. During the first research appointment, children will complete a cognitive assessment and a practice magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. Parents/legal guardians will participate in the 30-45-minute sleep device training session with one of the research staff. During the two weeks of activity/sleep monitoring at home, parents and children will answer questions about their sleep routine, ADHD symptoms, and emotional responding each morning and evening. Parents will be asked to install a questionnaire application on their smartphone. A prompt will be sent to their smartphone multiple times per day reminding parents to complete the brief assessment. After the 2-week period, children will complete a 4-hour research appointment. During this research appointment, children will complete a 60-minute MRI scan and computer-based activities that assess cognitive skills, reward-based decision-making, and frustration tolerance. At the end of the research appointment, children will return the device to our research team. Parents may delete the questionnaire application from their phone at the end of the research appointment. Participation will also require parents/legal guardians to complete questionnaires about their child. Questionnaires will be provided to the primary caregiver by email or at the beginning of their child's first research appointment. Parents agree to complete and return the questionnaires within one month of their child's research appointment. Parents may be provided with additional questionnaires to give to their child's primary schoolteacher. This information is collected to better understand children's abilities, behavior, strengths, and weaknesses. There are minimal risks associated with this study. Risks include fatigue, boredom, and mild discomfort. There is no cost to participating in this study. There is no direct benefit to participants for participating in this study.
NCT07189442
This pilot study will test whether combining L-theanine and paraxanthine improves sustained attention, inhibitory control, and overall cognition in adults with ADHD and ASD. Two parallel randomized, single-blinded, repeated-measures crossover trials will be conducted. Participants will complete neuropsychological testing, fMRI scanning, and self-report measures following administration of the L-theanine-paraxanthine combination compared to placebo.
NCT04943796
The main aim of the study is to find out how frequently adults with at least one psychiatric condition have ADHD (but have not been diagnosed with ADHD before) and to describe the quality of life of these adults who have been diagnosed with ADHD. To find out how often ADHD is not diagnosed in these adults could provide awareness about this condition and could help to improve preventing underdiagnosis.
NCT07180758
The aim of this study is to investigate the potential of postural control and plantar pressure data in predicting Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in middle school students using machine learning methods. A total of 100 students will participate, including those identified with symptoms of ADHD and healthy controls. Participants will undergo non-invasive biomechanical assessments, including pedobarographic foot pressure measurement and mobile posture analysis. Behavioral data will be collected using DSM-IV-based rating scales developed by Atilla Turgay, completed separately by parents, teachers, and caregivers. All data will be used to develop predictive models using algorithms such as random forest, logistic regression, and support vector machines. The study is observational and cross-sectional.
NCT07165509
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a specialized nutritional intervention on physiological performance, sleep quality, and cognitive abilities in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders, specifically Down syndrome, autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and attention deficit disorder (ADD/ADHD). The intervention consisted of a modified diet protocol combined with an investigational nutritional formulation administered over a fixed intervention period. Outcomes included cognitive performance measures, sleep parameters, and selected physiological biomarkers.
NCT07121621
PHACYLOB PHArmaCokinetics of methYLphenidate in adult patients with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) : comparison between patients with and without OBesity. Its aim is to determine whether, for a comparable treatment dose, there are differences in the pharmacokinetic of methylphenidate between ADHD patients with obesitý and ADHD patients but without obesitý. More specifically, we will assess whether blood concentrations of methylphenidate (MPH; long acting form) are significantly higher or lower in either group at different times of the day. To meet this objective, we are conducting this pharmacokinetic clinical trial with blood sampling and repeated clinical measurements just prior to MPH administration (= at T0) and then, at different times after administration, i.e. at times (T): T 30 minutes, T 1 hour, T2h, T3h, T4h, T6h, T8h after MPH administration. As far as MPH is concerned, this is the usual treatment. However, we may hypothesize that the distribution in the body may differ according to weight: hence the interest of this study
NCT06170996
This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of an Internet-based behavioural parent training intervention on children's ADHD symptoms and children's and parents' mental health status.
NCT02618434
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of SPN-810 in the treatment of impulsive aggression in patients with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in conjunction with standard ADHD treatment. Approximately 297 subjects aged 6 to 12 years with ADHD and comorbid impulsive aggression will be recruited in this study. The frequency of impulsive aggression behaviors will be assessed as a primary outcome. Additionally, the severity and improvement in impulsive aggression and quality of life measures for the subject and caregiver will be assessed using validated scales.
