Treatment Summary

Dexmethylphenidate is a stimulant drug used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Approved in 2002, it works by blocking the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain, making it more available for use. It is believed that the “right-handed” version of this drug is more effective and produces fewer side effects than its “left-handed” version or the combination of both.

How Ritalin La Affects Patients

Dexmethylphenidate is a form of the drug methylphenidate that is more potent than the regular version. It works by blocking the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain.

How Ritalin La works in the body

Methylphenidate works by blocking the reuptake of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain, specifically in the thalamus and striatum. Studies have shown that it can also affect the prefrontal cortex, although this effect is not as strong. When taken, it also affects blood flow to areas of the brain like the striatum, supplementary motor area, and posterior parietal cortex.

Ritalin La Toxicity & Overdose Risk

There is no difference in the effects of dexmethylphenidate between genders. There have not been many studies done on the difference in effects of this drug across racial groups, young children, those with kidney or liver impairment, pregnant women, or elderly patients. People with kidney problems are unlikely to need to adjust their dose, as the drug isn't processed through the kidneys. Animal studies have shown that taking this drug during pregnancy can cause delayed development and reduced weight gain in male offspring. When weighing the benefits and risks of taking this drug, it is important to note that it has not been linked to cancer, but has caused liver tumors in mice

Ritalin La for Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity

I started taking this in grade three, and then switched to concerta. Big mistake- I got very aggressive and territorial. I attacked my sister for no reason and got angry over small things like food not being perfect. This is the complete opposite of me. Then, I switched back to ritalin and everything has been good. I still get C grades but they're a lot better when on ritalin.

Non-Drug Treatments for Anxiety Disorder

All Sexes
Tampa, FL

RESYNC-BH is a research study evaluating a personalized, non-drug brain-and-body treatment approach for adults with ongoing behavioral health symptoms such as depression, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, sleep problems, attention difficulties, or substance-use concerns. Rather than assigning treatment solely according to psychiatric diagnosis, treatment approaches are selected based on symptoms, physiologic measures, and clinical presentation. Treatment may include noninvasive neuromodulation, sensory stimulation, regulated breathing, and AIP-informed integrative psychotherapy. The study will evaluate whether personalized treatment approaches produce rapid and sustained improvements in behavioral health symptoms and functioning, and whether treatment response is accompanied by measurable changes in neurophysiologic, autonomic, cognitive, inflammatory, and behavioral measures. The study hypothesis is that meaningful clinical improvement is associated with measurable changes across brain, body, cognitive, and behavioral signals, and that early changes in these measures may help characterize treatment response and its durability. The long-term goal is to develop more objective and personalized methods for monitoring behavioral health treatment response.

This study is conducted entirely in person at California State University, San Bernardino. Participation requires 12 campus visits over six weeks. Remote participation is not available, and travel expenses are not reimbursed. Participants who complete all study visits will receive a gift valued at $25. This study will evaluate the feasibility and potential effects of a six-week, music-based binaural beats stimulation program in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Forty adults with ADHD will be randomly assigned to either a binaural beat stimulation group or a control group. Both groups will attend 12 supervised listening sessions over six weeks and listen to similar music for 20 minutes per session; however, only the intervention group's music will contain embedded binaural beats. Cognitive assessments will be completed before and after the intervention to evaluate changes in attention and memory. Session attendance and participant retention will also be examined to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the program.

Sleep Pattern Changes for ADHD

13 - 17
All Sexes
Cincinnati, OH

Many adolescents go to bed late and wake up early for school. Science is only beginning to understand how sleep schedules can affect them. The investigators are interested in whether changing adolescents' sleep patterns affects their functioning, attention, and how they feel. The investigators are especially interested in the effects of changing both how much sleep adolescents get and when that sleep happens. This study focuses on healthy 13-17-year-olds with ADHD. This study asks adolescents to systematically change their sleeping habits across a 3 week span. The first week, they follow a sleep schedule that fits reasonably well with the schedule they keep when they do not have to wake up early for any specific obligation (e.g., for school). The second week, they spend several nights in a "short sleep" condition, during which they get 6.5 hours in bed per night. The final week, they enter a sleep condition that allows for healthy sleep duration, but with a timing that is randomly assigned to either fit well with their preferred schedule or fit poorly with that schedule. During each week, they and their parents complete measures of their attention and other factors. At the end of each week, they attend an evening session to measure their internal body clock ("circadian phase"), as well as measures of attention and other thinking skills. The goal is to understand whether the benefits of healthy sleep duration depend on the timing of when that sleep occurs.

All Sexes
Richmond, VA

BRIEF SUMMARY A. "What is the purpose of this study?" BACKGROUND. The QAIAx clinical trial (Quantum AI/AGI Public Health Agency), known operationally as the "AI City Hall Project," represents a landmark intergovernmental research initiative examining the viability of AI-governed residential ecosystems for behavioral and mental health intervention. Authorized under 10 U.S.C. 4001 (Defense Sector Research Projects, RDT\&E) and supported by pending USPTO applications (Nos. 64/074,526, 64/063,557, 64/105,164, 63/903,181, 63/729,428, 64/125,360), this non-medicinal program investigates whether quantum AI-managed public administration, AI humanoid robotics, holographic holoportation (AI-119 Kikkeri Holo-Suit / "AI Wat Beam Bot"; AI-119 Vulcan QM-Ware or "Quasi-Mind Ware"), and advanced AGI learning machines can reduce housing and care costs while improving mental health outcomes-particularly for persons with addiction and co-occurring psychiatric disorders. SCOPE \& JURISDICTION. The trial operates across a network of self-contained, geodesic dome-enclosed "Microcities" (1,500-15,000 occupants per site) within an affiliate network of 300 communities, spanning North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, Asia, and the Middle East. Participating host nations are U.S.-allied member states party to the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, and the Hague Convention, alongside related bilateral treaties with the U.S. government. INTERVENTION \& POPULATION: Eligible adults (18+) reside in these Microcities for up to 36 months. Daily life-including housing, utilities, and healthcare-is administered by the ISAC AI/AGI system and robots with minimal human oversight. CLINICAL TRIAL GOAL(S): The clinical trial program goals are to exemplify a sustainable AGI-managed public administration supported by AI robotics and AGI trans-human and omni-AI machines (e.g., "Q-Men"; "AI-Me"; Beam Bot", "QM-Ware", "AVK Suit") to improve mental health outcomes-especially for those with addiction disorders-and create a financially sustainable model for people on fixed incomes or public assistance. B. "What conditions does the study focus on?" The study focuses on adults with: * Autism spectrum disorders (Asperger's, autism, ADHD, ASD) * Substance use disorders (alcohol, opioids, marijuana, cocaine, MDMA/ecstasy, tobacco/nicotine) * Psychiatric conditions (personality disorders, narcissism, gender dysphoria, eating disorders) * Behavioral addictions (gambling, sex addiction) and related issues (sex offence history). C. "What does the study involve?" Eligible volunteers live in an omni AI-managed Microcity for up to 24 months. The community is housed in a geodesic dome that contains all daily necessities: housing, food, utilities, healthcare, and public services. Daily life is managed by an AI system (ISAC) and AI humanoid robots, with only occasional human oversight. Participants receive free mental-health treatment that may include AI-driven counselling, virtual-reality therapy (holo-suits), and non-invasive digital "attitude inoculation" protocols designed to reduce stress and addiction cravings. All participants also take AI-technology courses as a condition of enrolment. The study does not use any FDA-regulated drug, device, or biologic. \*\*Who can participate?\*\* You may be able to join if you: * Are an adult (18 years or older) * Have a diagnosis of one of the listed mental-health or addiction disorders * Are referred by a licensed health professional (e.g., RN, NP, PhD, MD), a non-profit organization (e.g., 501(c)(3), university, church), or a public agency (e.g., case manager, social worker, parole/probation officer, judge) * Are willing to live in a closed, AI-managed community for up to one year and complete AI educational courses. Participants who are veterans, receive public assistance (e.g., VA disability, SSDI/SSI, Medicaid, Medicare), or are experiencing homelessness may be prioritized. \*\*Where is the study taking place?\*\* The study will be conducted at Microcity sites in the United States and internationally. The first administrative site is in Richmond, Virginia, USA. Additional sites are planned in partner nations, including tribal lands, military installations, and special economic zones. \*\*Who is sponsoring the study?\*\* The study is sponsored by Veterans Recovery Network Inc., a SCDV-owned non-profit organization, in collaboration with AI-119 Vulcan Project Research \& Educational Technology Co. (PRETCO). The study is conducted under U.S. federal research and development authorities (28 U.S.C. §1498; 10 U.S.C. §§§§ 4001, 4021, 4022, and 4023) and is part of a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with participating segments or RDT\&E programming missions of the United States Defense Department (DoW). This summary describes a planned clinical study. Not all details may be final. Information may change as the study progresses.

All Sexes
Pittsburgh, PA

The primary goal of this clinical trial is to test if a smartphone-based intervention is feasible \& acceptable among young adults with ADHD who also engage in risky drinking behaviors. A secondary aim is to test preliminary intervention efficacy. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the smartphone intervention feasible \& acceptable for participants (e.g., are they responding regularly, is there a low level of burden reported)? Does the smartphone intervention improve symptom awareness, inhibitory control, and problematic alcohol use? Participants will: Attend a virtual baseline visit to assess ADHD, alcohol use, and other life experiences. Complete either the TIPS smartphone intervention or a control smartphone protocol over the course of 31-days, starting the first Friday after the baseline visit. Attend a virtual follow-up visit, where many of the same questions from the baseline visit will be asked again.
