Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Double blind, placebo-controlled clinical study designed to evaluate Mindtension device and Protocol as a diagnostic tool in children diagnosed with ADHD

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Device: MT1 Device
N/A

Detailed Description

Mindtension device measures the orbicularis muscle response to auditory stimuli, the device is backed up by an algorithm that calculate the several parameters of startle reflex such as the Paired-pulse inhibition (PPI), Habituation, and startle related indices.

Data collected by the device is used to evaluate the subject levels of attention, Hyperarousal and Impulsivity, by means of physiological EMG signals of the startle response.

Evaluating baseline differences in these parameters between ADHD and age matched healthy controls, and the possible improvement after psychostimulant medications.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Mindtension EMG values [baseline and 1 hour post treatment]

      startle reflex indices such as the Paired-pulse inhibition (PPI), Habituation, and startle response amplitude, eye-blink probability, amplitude coefficients, inter-trial variability

    2. ADHD severity [Baseline]

      ADHD-RS-IV questionnaire ADHD-RS-IV questionnaire

    3. Impulsive dysregulation [Baseline]

      Clinical Global Impression (CGI): Clinical Global Impression - Severity and Clinical Global Impression - Improvement (CGI-S, CGI-I, respectively)

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. CBCL [Baseline]

      A questionnaire filled by the parents to describe their children's behavioral and emotional problems, version CBCL/4 to 18

    2. Changes in treatment [Baseline]

      Tolerability, switching rate, changes in formulation is examined using information from electronic medical records three clinical follow-up visits.
