Primary: To evaluate the efficacy of CTN in adults ages with ADHD and comorbid anxiety (AISRS) Key Secondary: To assess the efficacy of CTN in adults ages with ADHD and comorbid anxiety
The purpose of this study is to better understand sleep and circadian functioning in children with ADHD using home-based measures, parent report, and a lab based melatonin assessment. Investigators will also examine how sleep relates to psychiatric health and cognition among children with ADHD. The investigator for this study is Dr. Jessica Lunsford-Avery from the Department of Psychiatry.
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.
RAMP is a pilot study examining the use of an Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Monitoring Program during the early stages of treating ADHD in children living in rural settings. This trial will enroll 36 caregiver/infant dyads across 2 sites and will evaluate feasibility endpoints rather than clinical outcomes. Enrolled participants will be randomized 1:1 to the intervention group (RAMP reports) or control group (digital education handouts). The study duration is 10 months, including start-up, enrollment and intervention, and data analysis and manuscript submission.
This study aims to demonstrate the accuracy of the MT1 algorithm using the MindTension biometric sensor device as a diagnostic aid for healthcare providers in diagnosing ADHD in youth ages ≥ 6 to ≤17 years.
This study consists of a randomized controlled trial assessing the acceptability, feasibility, and efficacy of the RELAX (Regulating Emotions Like An eXpert) Intervention. Following randomization, 30 families will receive the RELAX intervention and 30 families will receive psychoeducational materials as part of a control condition. Additionally, 10 families from the RELAX condition will participate in a pilot study and focus groups to give feedback on developed smartphone apps to support skill use during and following completion of RELAX.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn adjusting daily or nightly routines improves executive functioning in youth with ADHD. It will also learn about the acceptability of the intervention. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the intervention improve sleep for youth with ADHD? 2. Does the intervention improve areas of executive functioning for youth with ADHD? 3. Is this an acceptable intervention for youth with ADHD? Researchers will compare the two intervention conditions to see if their are impacts in executive functioning and sleep. Participants will: Complete cognitive testing, executive function tasks, questionnaires, and an interview at baseline and at one month Wear an actigraph watch for one month Bring a parent with them to three meetings Complete daily sleep diaries for one month
A combination therapy of NRCT-101 with NRCT-202 is being developed for patients with ADHD.
The goal of this study is to extend the efficacy evidence of sustained release methylphenidate compound (JornayPM) in adults with Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). JornayPM has recently been approved for treatment of patients 6 years and older with ADHD; the release mechanism is unique among ADHD products in that it is taken in the evening, with effects in the morning upon awakening and then throughout the subsequent day. Of note, to date, there is no clinical data as to the tolerability or clinical effects or dosing in adults with ADHD; therefore the primary aim of this trial is to gather the first set of these data.
The study will develop and test a behavioral program for pregnant individuals with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This behavioral program will include skills for managing ADHD and related symptoms during pregnancy and after delivery and will be taught by a behavioral therapist in OB care settings.
