About this study

Official title: Neurocognitive and Neurobiological Improvement in ADHD Children by Modification of Dietary Protein

Multicenter, Prospective, randomized, comparative and controlled study about the beneficial effects in behavior and brain connectivity of different dietary patterns in 100 children with ADHD between 7 and 12 years, followed up for 3 months of nutritional therapy.

Read the detailed description

We collect electroencephalogram (EEG), event related potentials (ERP) data, and behavior parameters in ADD/ADHD children that not take stimulants or other drugs during study. They would only follow some nutritional recommendations based on increasing the amount of dietary protein and fast carbohydrates decrease. The duration of the study will be 6 months, 3 months for recruitment and 3 months for dietary treatment.

What participants receive

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

  • BP22042013Drug

    Also called Brain Proteins Supplements

    This group of patients receive 2.000 kilo-calories diet (60 g. carbohydrates, 144 gr of fat and 107 gr of proteins), including 2 protein shakes.

  • Low carbohydrate dietDietary supplement

    Also called 2000 Kilo-calories without Fast Absorbing Carbohydrate

    the second group of patients receive diet of 2.000 Kilo-calories without rapidly absorbed carbohydrates and without proteins supplements

What is being measured

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

  1. Changes Related Potential Recording after 3 months of dietary approach

    Evaluate changes in reaction time, omission and comission errors, latencies and amplitudes in brainwaves during visual continuous performance task from 19 channels EEG recordings, before begin nutritional measures and after 3 months of dietary approach.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Quantitative Electroencephalogram

    Analysis frequencies and amplitudes of brainwaves and spectral independent components before and after 3 months of nutritional intervention

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Behavior

    Evaluate Behavior with clinical scales (AMEN questionnaire) at the beginning and after 3 months of nutritional approach.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing BP22042013 and Low carbohydrate diet in people with ADD and ADHD, run by Spanish Foundation for Neurometrics Development.

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 5 inclusion and 10 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 8 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Changes Related Potential Recording after 3 months of dietary approach (time frame: 3 months). 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 8 Apr 2021.
