ADHD Treatment for Children With Epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a specific ADHD medication (Jornay PM) is safe and helpful for children who have both epilepsy and ADHD. Researchers want to see if treating ADHD can improve focus and behavior without making seizures worse.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether CNS stimulant medications can improve irritability and aggression in children with ADHD. It looks for factors that predict who will benefit most.
This Phase 4 study checks whether certain markers change in the brain/body when children with ADHD take methylphenidate (a stimulant). It also compares these markers with healthy children to better understand ADHD.
This study tests if Jornay PM, a long-acting ADHD medication, helps control symptoms, focus, and emotions throughout the day and into the early evening in adults with ADHD. It is an open-label study, meaning everyone knows they are getting the medication, and then they are randomly assigned to different observation groups.
This study looks at how often children with epilepsy also have attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which affects focus and behavior. It will help doctors understand the connection so they can support children better.
This study tests whether a long-acting ADHD medication called methylphenidate (Jornay PM) can help young people with both ADHD and cannabis use disorder reduce their cannabis use. It aims to see if treating ADHD symptoms also helps with cannabis problems.
This study tests whether brain wave recordings (EEG) can help predict how well children with ADHD will respond to stimulant medications. It aims to find the best treatment faster, potentially reducing the guesswork in choosing the right medication.
