Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main objective of the study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of the personalized Neurofeedback Training device versus Methylphenidate in the treatment of children and adolescents with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The main objective of the present study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of the personalized Neurofeedback Training device ADHD@Home versus Methylphenidate in the treatment of children and adolescents with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

Furthermore, it is aimed to learn more about the mechanisms underlying NeuroFeedback.

The study is prospective, multicentric (9 centres), randomised, reference drug-controlled.

ADHD@Home is a neuromarkerTM-based personalized medicine device to treat children suffering from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders (ADHD) with Neurofeedback Training (NFT) based on real time electroencephalography (EEG) signal.

Neurofeedback Training is based on direct training of brain function, by which the brain learns to function more efficiently. For each session of the ADHD@Home solution, the child is trained to modulate his brain activity in a serious game, which is a real-time metaphor of the EEG biomarker that needs to be 'normalized', following a typical operant learning process.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Neurofeedback NFT

Neurofeedback Training based on real time electroencephalography (EEG) signal. The patient is trained to modulate his brain activity thanks to a tablet installed with serious game.

Initiation/Discovery period during 21 days: initiation and discovery sessions Treatment period during 9 weeks: 36 training sessions at home

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Neurofeedback NFT

Intervention Type DEVICE

The ADHD@Home Device is composed of a software for NF Training deployed on a Windows tablet, and connected to an EEG headset and an amplifier.

The training is personalized according to patient's characteristics.

Methylphenidate MPH

Methylphenidate long acting preparation.

Open titration protocol during 21 days: 10 mg/day as a start until optimal dose is reached (maximum dose: 60 mg/day).

Treatment period during 9 weeks: optimal dose with MPH LA 10 and 30 mg (dose range: 10 mg/day to 60 mg/day).

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Methylphenidate MPH

Intervention Type DRUG

Drug prescribed with a first titration period until an optimal dose.
