About this study

Official title: Alterations of Fronto-Cerebello-Frontal Loops in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) : A Study Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

The aim of this study is to investigate the integrity of connectivity between the neocortex and the cerebellum in the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Fibers integrity will be measured using magnetic Resonance Imaging Techniques.

Read the detailed description

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental trouble characterized by attentional deficits, impulsivity and motor hyperactivity. Morphological neuroimaging studies in ADHD children have revealed cerebellar abnormalities, however data in adults regarding cerebellum alterations are scarce. In this study we will analyse the conectivity of the cerebellum of adults ADHD patients. We will use diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) technique, and morphological data will be compared with the neuropsychological status.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Imaging in people with Attention Deficit Disorder With Hyperactivity, run by University Hospital, Bordeaux at 2 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jun 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Difficulties in the organisation). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Fractional anisotropy coefficient if fronto-cerebello-frontal loops. (time frame: visite 1). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Jun 2009.
