Effectiveness

How Amphetamine Sulfate Affects PatientsDextroamphetamine is a drug that stimulates the central nervous system. It can increase blood pressure and act as a mild breathing aid. Exactly how dextroamphetamine works is not fully understood.
How Amphetamine Sulfate works in the bodyWe don't know exactly how amphetamines work, but they appear to help increase the amount of dopamine in the brain. This is done by blocking the reabsorption of dopamine, making more of it available to the brain, as well as stimulating the release of more dopamine. Additionally, amphetamines may affect the number of molecules responsible for transporting dopamine around the brain.

fMRI for Cognitive Flexibility

18 - 35
All Sexes
Iowa City, IA
The goal of this basic experimental research study is to examine how the human thalamus supports flexible thinking and behavior. Specifically, the research aims to elucidate how the mediodorsal (MD) thalamus encodes and updates "context"-the mental framework that determines which rules or actions are relevant in a given situation. This work may contribute to understanding why certain psychiatric conditions, such as schizophrenia and ADHD, involve difficulties with cognitive flexibility and control. The primary research questions are: Does the MD thalamus represent the context that organizes how working memory guides task selection? Does the MD thalamus signal when context needs to be updated after a change in task demands? Do these thalamic representations support generalization to new situations or rules? Participants will complete cognitive tasks while undergoing high-resolution brain imaging using 7-Tesla MRI. The investigators will combine behavioral data, computational modeling, and advanced neuroimaging analyses to examine how the thalamus interacts with the cortex during flexible decision-making.

Biofeedback and Lifestyle Interventions for ADHD

7 - 18
All Sexes
Gillette, WY
The Pediatric Healing Minds II intervention includes a biofeedback component, breathing practices nutrition and exercise counseling. Biofeedback is a type of mind-body technique used to control body functions such as heart, lung and muscle responses. Biofeedback uses therapeutic techniques that aim to help study participants gain more awareness and control over certain physiological functions in their bodies. It involves the use of electronic monitoring equipment to provide real-time information about physiological processes such as heart rate, HRV, coherence and muscle tension. This information is then provided back to the study participant, allowing them to learn how to consciously regulate these processes. During the sessions parents are expected to attend and participate. Study participants and parents will have access to a video that provides instructions for placement of the Heart Math single small ear lobe or finger sensor. Breathing Practices include alternate nostril, qi gong and other breathing practices. Nutrition counseling includes nutrition supplementation to correct deficiencies, dietary education and an age-and gender-specific diet prescription based on the Mediterranean Diet. Exercise counseling includes developmentally appropriate guidelines for cardiopulmonary, strength and flexibility activities based on guidelines from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). The objective of this research proposal is to examine the combined effects of an integrative approach including biofeedback, breathing practices, nutrition and exercise counseling intervention (Healing Minds II), on symptoms and severity of ADHD, impulsivity and attention (e.g., QB continuous performance test) in youth 7-18 years of age. The investigators hypothesize that ADHD symptoms and severity, impulsivity and attention will be significantly improved and coherence increased after participation in the 6-month intervention. The investigators also propose that ADHD severity in those patients with prescribed medication but poorly-controlled ADHD will demonstrate the greatest improvement compared to those not prescribed medication and those who have well-controlled ADHD.

Organizational Skills Training vs Mindfulness for ADHD

13 - 17
All Sexes
Durham, NC
This randomized control trial comparing Organizational Skills Training (OST) and Mindfulness-Based Intervention (MBI) among adolescents with a pre-existing ADHD diagnosis presenting to the Duke ADHD Program. Both treatments are eight 90 minute sessions. The research component will involve a pre-treatment assessment and post-treatment assessment. Both assessments will involve adolescents and one caregiver to complete questionnaires over REDCap. Rating scales will include ADHD symptom severity (Conners 3: self and parent report), functional impairment (IRS: self and parent report), executive functioning (BRIEF-2: parent report), emotion dysregulation (DERS: self and parent report), trait mindfulness (FFMQ: self report), organizational skills (BRIEF-2: parent report), treatment satisfaction (self report and parent report) and credibility (self report and parent report). Post-treatment assessments for feasibility will include attendance (measured over the course of treatment) and homework completion rates on a scale of 1 to 5 in which 5 indicates higher homework completion. We will also assess acceptability via individual items on a Likert scale (self report): overall satisfaction, how much was learned about ADHD, usefulness of information learned, content relevance to individual experience, comprehension of strategies, confidence about using strategies, likelihood of using strategies, helpfulness to share with the group, benefits from hearing from other group members, willingness to recommend the same treatment to others, and whether or not treatment was beneficial.

Guided Deep Breathing for ADHD

7 - 11
All Sexes
Brookline, MA
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects approximately 11% of children and adolescents in the United States. Individuals with ADHD experience substantial impairments and burdens across multiple areas of daily living, including peer difficulties, academic difficulties, poor job outcomes, high rates of co-occurring disorders, and large financial costs. Although there are many well-established, evidence-based treatments for ADHD, many children continue to experience significant impairment and elevated ADHD symptoms even with prolonged treatment. Further, there are several limitations to existing treatment approaches, including medication side effects, difficulty accessing behavioral treatments, and high out-of-pocket costs for behavioral treatments. Thus, there is a crucial need to identify low cost, low burden, alternative or additive intervention approaches for pediatric ADHD. In the current pilot study, we aim to evaluate responses in behavioral and brain-based markers of attention to a mindfulness-based intervention. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs), including deep breathing, have received considerable research attention regarding their benefits for ADHD symptoms. Deep breathing is a strong candidate as a supplementary MBI intervention for children with ADHD due to its simplistic and easy-to-implement nature. Studies examining the effects of deep breathing on physiological arousal and ADHD symptoms in children have yielded promising results. Children will be led through a brief deep breathing intervention using a novel tool designed to optimize child engagement in deep breathing. This tool, Domi, is designed to be held in the child's hands and uses a series of haptic vibrations to provide real-time deep breathing pacing guidance. We predict that following a brief deep breathing practice, children with ADHD will demonstrate improved sustained attention, reaction time consistency, and inhibitory control. These areas of attention and behavioral functioning will be assessed using computer tasks and measures of brain activity. We plan to use the results of this study to strengthen a future application for grant funding to run a similar trial with many more children. We believe that the results of this and future studies will improve the lives of children with ADHD and their families.
