This trial tests if a mixed amphetamine medication helps teenagers with both autism and ADHD who still have significant symptoms, even if they are already on other treatments. It also includes typically developing teens as a comparison group.
This study uses brain scans (EEG) to understand which children with ADHD will respond well to stimulant medications. The goal is to help doctors choose the right treatment faster by looking at brain activity patterns before starting medication.
This study compares stimulant and non-stimulant ADHD medicines in kids who have not taken ADHD medication before. It also studies how these treatments affect brain “reward” processes, which may be linked to substance-use risk.
This pilot study tests a remote monitoring program (RAMP) for children with ADHD who are starting or restarting stimulant medication. It aims to see if using a smartphone app to track symptoms helps providers and families manage care.
This Phase 2 study tests whether diphenhydramine improves sleep in children with autism who have significant sleep problems. It requires sleep monitoring (watch data and sleep testing) and checking for side effects to see if the treatment is safe and helpful.
This Phase 2 study tests whether a single dose of N-acetylcysteine can improve “restricted and repetitive behaviors” in children with autism. It’s meant for kids who are stable and still in early puberty stages.
