Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 35 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Study population: 100 adult participants will be recruited for this study: 50 adults diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and 50 healthy controls.

Who may be able to join

  • Right-handedness
  • Inclusion Criteria for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) group:
  • Currently unmedicated adults with ADHD. To be given a full diagnosis of adult ADHD, the participant must have full Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-R) criteria: (1) described a chronic course of ADHD symptomatology from childhood to adulthood, and (2) endorsed a moderate or sever level of impairment attributed to the ADHD symptoms.

Who cannot join

  • Currently taking psychoative medications
  • Any clinically significant neurological problem (e.g., tics, seizures, serious head injury)

About this study

Official title: EEG and ADHD Study

The purpose of this research is to assess and determine brain oscillations or "brain signatures" of adult participants with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) relative to adult participants without ADHD using the technique electroencephalogram (EEG). Electroencephalogram is entirely non-invasive way of tracking brain activity.The main goal of this study is to establish biological factors for determining the diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Being tested
Electroencephalogram (EEG)
Medical subject headings
Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Electroencephalogram (EEG)Device

    Also called ActiveTwo EEG System, Manufacturer: BioSemi, Supplier: Cortech Solutions, BEU Number: 409917

    The electroencephalogram assesses brain electrical activity through surface recording disks (electrodes) which are placed near the participants' head using a custom designed Lycra cap. The electrodes transmit the signals which are then amplified and stored on a computer. The procedure is entirely non-invasive. Once an accurate signal is assured, the signal derived from the electrode cap is then amplified, transmitted to a computer, and stored for later analysis. Each participant will undergo the electroencephalogram (EEG) procedure only once for the duration of 30-45 minutes.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity DisorderThis study aims to recruit 100 adult participants: 50 of which are adults diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and 50 healthy controls. All participants will perform a total of two tasks while connected to electroencephalogram (EEG) sensors; the first task is a resting state task and after that a cognitive challenge task (attention control). Study activity is performed in a single visit which lasts two hours. Participants will also be asked to complete some behavioral questionnaires.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Brain Wave Measurements

    Measurement of electroencephalogram amplitude and coherence in alpha, gamma, and theta brain wave bands.

    Measured: Two years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Default Network Signatures

    Measurement of the brain's default network consisting of interconnected midline and lateral parietal regions involved in internally directed mentation.

    Measured: two years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Healthy Controls, run by University of Michigan at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Brain Wave Measurements (time frame: Two years). 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 7 Nov 2017.
