We have a research study available for adolescents with Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and aggressive symptoms. The purpose of this research study is to find better and safer medications to help control aggressive behaviors in adolescents with ADHD.
​
​
The investigational medication will be provided at no cost and compensation is provided for time and travel. No health insurance is required to participate in any of our ADHD clinical trials.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Clinical Trials
What is ADHD?
ADHD is a disorder that makes it difficult for a person to pay attention and control impulsive behaviors. People with ADHD may also be restless and almost constantly active. ADHD is not just a childhood disorder. Although the symptoms of ADHD begin in childhood, ADHD can continue through adolescence and adulthood. Even though hyperactivity tends to improve as a child becomes a teen, problems with inattention, disorganization, and poor impulse control often continue through the teen years and into adulthood.1
​
Examples of Impulsive Aggression:
-
Getting into fights at school or with family members
-
Slamming doors, knocking things over, and/or breaking things
-
Yelling, shouting, getting angry, cursing, and/or threatening people
-
Hitting or hurting themselves, including thoughts of doing so
