NCT07541820
This study will explore the feasibility, acceptability, and potential benefits of a group-based tailored yoga programme designed for adults experiencing symptoms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. The yoga intervention will be compared to an active control (group-based functional movement classes).
NCT05869253
The goal of this clinical trial is to develop and validate an Equine Assisted Occupational Therapy Intervention for children aged 6-12 with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The research aims to study the effect of an EAOT intervention on cognitive-emotional aspects, daily function and participation among these children using various measurements including physiological measures (EEG, heart rate for rider and horse), questionnaires and different tasks. It aims to enable the creation of an evidence based protocol for professionals in order to provide a better suited therapy for children with ADHD and enable them to live a full life. Participants will enroll in a 12 week EAOT intervention including one session per week of 45 minutes with a waiting period prior the intervention. Participants will go through assessments prior waiting time, prior the intervention and post intervention.
NCT04416360
In response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (covid-19) outbreak, the home confinement of the population ordered by governments in many countries raise questions about its impact on individuals' physical and mental health in the short and longer term. In children, reduced physical activity, changes in lifestyle, disturbances in sleep patterns, lack of in-person contact with peers, poor or inadequate understanding of health risks may be risk factors of anxiety, stress, fatigue, sleep disorders. These problematic effects could be modulated by social factors (housing in urban or rural areas, availability of personal space at home, parenting stress, etc.).
NCT04638283
The study aims to improve the understanding of non-pharmacological treatments of ADHD with a particular emphasis on coping with executive problems. Executive functions can be defined as those abilities necessary to formulate goals, carry them out effectively and enabling a person to engage successfully in independent, purposive, self-serving behavior. The intervention consists of: 1. Eight psycho-educative group sessions focusing on Goal Management Training (GMT), a method aiming to enhance goal directed behavior, developed by Levine and colleagues in 2011. 2. Four individual sessions where the participants are guided through the process of formulation individual goals for improving functioning in everyday life. The method used for goal setting is Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS), developed by Kiresuk and Sherman in 1968. 3. Bi-weekly telephone follow up the first three months preceding the group sessions, focusing on the attainment of GAS-goals. Adult participants with ADHD/ADD are recruited from the outpatient psychiatric health care clinic, DPS Nedre Romerike at Akershus University Hospital and are randomized into either 1) an intervention-group, receiving the intervention described above or 2) a control-group receiving treatment as usual. It is hypothesized that the intervention will improve executive functioning, reported ADHD-symptoms and psychological well-being. It is also hypothesized that the participants sucessfully will formulate and implement GAS-goals and that goal attainment will sustain throughout the follow-up phase.
NCT02699086
The primary objective of this trial was to determine the effective doses and treatment period of PDC-1421 Capsule in subjects with ADHD. The secondary objective was to evaluate the safety of PDC-1421 Capsule in subjects receiving PDC-1421 at various dose levels.
NCT01010750
To evaluate the sensitivity and responsiveness of a standardized, validated, computer-based, battery of neuro-psychometric tests in adults with ADHD.
NCT03806946
The most common neuropsychiatric disorder in early childhood is attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with evidence of abnormality in structure and function of brain. Epilepsy is one of the commonest comorbidity associated with ADHD with negative outcome on childrens' quality of life, and is considered to be a risk for academic underachievement. These two disorders are highly associated, with more possibility to be a bidirectional relationship. The mechanisms of this comorbidity are unknown. In this association, a difficult challenge is presented since antiepileptic therapy and drugs used to treat ADHD may aggravate the clinical picture of each other. The main objectives are to evaluate this overlap of those disorders, find their complications on child and his family, and to suggest possible solutions to improve the outcome of those children.
NCT02827188
The objective of the Cognitive Restructuring in ADHD: Functional Training (CRAFT) study is to develop a non-pharmacological intervention program for children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). ADHD is a childhood onset clinical disorder of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. The present study will investigate the validity, feasibility and efficacy of this novel intervention.
NCT02572180
This study aims towards investigating the efficacy of a near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-based neurofeedback training in a virtual reality (VR) classroom in schoolchildren with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The investigators are especially interested in the training's impact on academic performance, executive functioning (EF) and behavioral ADHD symptoms. Furthermore, the investigators aim at examining the influence of teachers' instructional behavior on children with ADHD's learning in a short virtual reality classroom scenario. Several studies provide evidence that poor academic achievement in ADHD is mainly due to impairments in EF and ADHD behavior (e.g., Frazier, Youngstrom, Glutting, \& Watkins, 2007; Miller et al., 2013). Furthermore, studies show that these factors are related to neurophysiological characteristics found in electroencephalographic (EEG) or functional NIRS (fNIRS) examinations (e.g., Barry, Clarke, \& Johnstone, 2003; Barry, Johnstone, \& Clarke, 2003; Loo \& Barkley, 2005; Negoro et al., 2010). Neurofeedback trainings aim at improving these neurophysiological as well as cognitive-behavioral deficits (Gevensleben, Moll, Rothenberger, \& Heinrich, 2014), and are expected to improve academic performance in children with ADHD accordingly. Training in a VR classroom, from the investigators' perspective, facilitates generalization of self-regulation competences to real-life academic situations and at the same time increases the effort invested into the training compared to a training in 2D settings. Consequently, training in a VR classroom is hypothesized to lead to greater improvement in academic performance, EF and a greater decrease of ADHD symptoms than a training in a 2D setting. Moreover, the investigators hypothesize that these effects are more pronounced in children who receive a NIRS-based neurofeedback training compared to children receiving a biofeedback training based on an electromyogram (EMG).
NCT01323192
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of JNS001 titrated to daily doses of 18 to 72 mg in adults with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) relative to placebo.
NCT01657721
The overall objective of the current study is to determine whether computerized Working Memory (WM) training will enhance WM capacity in college students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). There are also four additional objectives. The first is to investigate whether the program's efficacy is impacted by the duration of the daily training sessions. The second is to determine whether improvements in WM will generalize to secondary outcome tasks, such as inhibitory control and planning. The third objective is to examine whether WM training will also ameliorate ADHD symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity. The last objective is to investigate whether improvements will be maintained at a two month follow-up period. The investigators will also be assessing healthy control participants,who will not be receiving treatment, but will be used as a basis of comparison with the ADHD participants, It is expected that the computerized WM training program will enhance WM capacity in college students with ADHD. In addition, it is believed that these increases in WM capacity will also lead to improvements in other executive functions. It is also hypothesized that WM training will lead to a reduction in ADHD symptomology. Lastly, these improvements should be maintained at three month follow-up.
