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.
Who can take part
- Your child has been diagnosed with epilepsy and takes seizure medication regularly
- Your child has been diagnosed with ADHD that affects their daily functioning (school, home, or social life)
- No seizure clusters or status epilepticus (prolonged seizures) in the past 30 days

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 many children with epilepsy also have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It helps doctors understand the link between these conditions so they can provide better care.
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 trial studies whether adding GABA (a substance that affects brain signaling) can help children who have both epilepsy (seizures) and ADHD. If it works, it may reduce symptoms related to either seizures, ADHD, or both.
