Summary

This trial is testing the effect of Foquest on sleep in children. It will compare them to a baseline of no medication and look at actigraphy and sleep diaries.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children aged 6-12 with ADHD, who meet the DSM-V criteria for ADHD and have normal blood pressure. They must be able to follow the study protocol and wear an actigraphic wrist device. It's not for kids allergic or non-responsive to methylphenidate, with certain medical conditions like seizure disorders or severe renal insufficiency, taking MAO inhibitors, or with a primary diagnosis of bipolar disorder.
What is being tested?
The trial tests how Foquest® affects sleep in children with ADHD using sleep tracking (actigraphy) and diaries. Researchers want to see if this medication changes how quickly kids fall asleep and improves their total sleep time compared to when they're not on any medication.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of Foquest® are not listed here, stimulant medications like it can sometimes affect sleep by making it harder to fall asleep or reducing total sleep time. Other common side effects may include mood swings, behavioral changes, decreased appetite, headaches, stomachaches.
