About this study

Official title: Sleepiness and Performances Degradation in Adults Presenting an Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

The Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a developmental disorder which affects 3 to 5 % of school age children. This disorder persists in the adulthood for 60 % of subjects. Children with ADHD are sleepier during the day than normal children. However, there is no information concerning the diurnal sleepiness of adults with ADHD and the impact of this sleepiness on their driving capacity. The investigators postulate that the negative impact of ADHD is due to an awakening disorder which adds to the attentional disorder. The aim of this study is to estimate both the sleepiness by a Maintenance Wakefulness Test (MWT) and the capacity to drive in adults with ADHD.

Read the detailed description

The main objective of this study is to estimate both the sleepiness by a Maintenance Wakefulness Test (MWT) and the capacity to drive in adults presenting an ADHD. Duration of participation for each patients will be 7 days. Four days after inclusion, patients will have to stop all psychostimulant treatment. Participants will then spend 24 hours (on days 6 and 7) at the "Groupe d'Etudes Neurophysiologie Pharmacologie Sommeil et Sommnolence"(GENPPHASS) in the "Centre Hospitalier Universitaire"(CHU) of Bordeaux. During this time, they will undergo complete polysomnography.The next day, they will perform a Maintenance Wakefulness Test (MWT). A neuropsychological evaluation of one hour will also be done. Finally, a driving test on a simulator will be performed.

Study significance: patients will benefit from an objective exploration of their sleep (with possibly, a sleep disorder discovery) and from a specific treatment. This study will demonstrate the necessity to investigate daytime function (sleepiness and performance) and the sleep quality of patients with ADHD. It will also demonstrate that part of the adults with ADHD handicap is based on an awakening disorder which adds to the attentional disorder.

    Measured: Day 7

  2. Standard deviation of the average position of the vehicle in the driving simulator test

    Measured: Day 7

  3. Score on Epworth Sleepiness scale

    Measured: Day 7

  4. Reaction time and the percentage of error in the cognitive tests

    Measured: Day 7

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Polysomnography, Maintenance Wakefulness Test and Neuropsychological evaluation 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 33 inclusion and 11 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Oct 2013. 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. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Measurement of the average sleep latency during the Maintenance Wakefulness Test (time frame: Day 7). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01160874, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Oct 2013.
