Effectiveness

How Kapvay Affects Patients

Clonidine works by activating certain receptors in the body, which can reduce blood pressure, make you sleepy, and decrease electrical activity in the nerves. The amount of clonidine needed for it to be effective varies from person to person, and it is typically taken twice a day. The usual recommended dose is between 0.1mg to 2.4mg daily.

How Kapvay works in the body

Clonidine works by binding to the Alpha-2 adrenoceptor, a G-protein found in the brain. This binding causes a change in the G-protein's structure, allowing it to interact with an effector. This process can cause decreased blood pressure, inhibited pain signals, and increased sleepiness. It can also affect regulators of blood pressure in certain areas of the brain.

When to interrupt dosage

Kapvay for Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity

This treatment has been great for my daughter. She's four years old and was diagnosed with ADHD, so she takes Kapvay and risperidone twice a day. They both work well and help her stay focused and calm throughout the day. It was hard to get her to take the pills at first, but after a while she was able to do it on her own and even tells me when it is time to take them.

Kapvay for Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity

My son is 12 years old. He is Autistic, ODD, ADHD and Bi-polar. This medication was suppose to treat the impulsive rage that he has. It helped at first, but after the second week, it stopped working. My doctor just decided to change drugs due to how intense my son's 'freak out' moments were getting. The drug did work very well at first-- for a full two days we had NO drama!!! That was a welcomed blessing from above!

Patient Q&A Section about kapvay

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is Kapvay prescribed for?

"This drug is used to treat ADHD by itself or with other drugs as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that also includes psychological and social therapies, among other treatments."

Answered by AI

Is Kapvay the same as clonidine?

"Both Kapvay and Catapres contain the drug clonidine. The doses of the two drugs are usually similar. However, Kapvay is used to treat ADHD, while Catapres is used to treat high blood pressure. Catapres is available as an immediate-release tablet, while Kapvay is available as an extended-release tablet."

Answered by AI

How does Kapvay work for ADHD?

"The drug Kapvay works by targeting alpha-2 receptors in the brain in order to potentially reduce symptoms of hyperactivity by altering the way the brain processes emotions, attention, and behavior. While the method by which this drug treats ADHD is not known for certain, the FDA approved its use for pediatric patients aged 6-17 in September of 2010."

Answered by AI

Is Kapvay a stimulant?

"Kapvay is a prescription medicine that is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is supplied as an extended-release tablet. Your doctor may prescribe Kapvay alone or together with other ADHD medicines. Kapvay is not a central nervous system (CNS) stimulant."

Women Veterans are the fastest growing segment of VA users, with most users in midlife. This dramatic growth has created challenges for VA to ensure that appropriate services are available to meet women Veterans' needs, and that they will want and be able to use those services. Furthermore, few VA improvement efforts have focused on women Veterans' health and health care in midlife. The EMPOWER QUERI 3.0 Program is a cluster randomized type 3 hybrid implementation-effectiveness trial testing two strategies designed to support implementation and sustainment of evidence-based practices for women Veterans in at least 18 VA facilities from 4 regions.

Acupuncture for Prostate Cancer

18+
Male
Fairfax, VA

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in the United States. Many men with prostate cancer are treated with hormone therapy, also called androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). While this treatment is effective, it often causes bothersome side effects such as hot flashes, poor sleep, fatigue, and other physical and emotional symptoms. There is currently no standard treatment to help manage these side effects in men. Acupuncture is a non-drug treatment that has been shown to help reduce hot flashes and related symptoms in women receiving hormone therapy for breast cancer. However, much less is known about whether acupuncture is helpful for men receiving hormone therapy for prostate cancer. This study will test whether an acupuncture program, combined with usual lifestyle education, is feasible and acceptable for men undergoing ADT. The study will also explore whether acupuncture may help reduce hot flashes and improve related symptoms. A total of 24 men with prostate cancer receiving ADT will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group will begin acupuncture right away, and the other group will begin acupuncture after a delay, with regular check-ins during the waiting period. All participants will receive standard lifestyle education. Participants will be followed for about five months and will be asked to complete daily hot flash diaries, questionnaires about their symptoms and quality of life, and wear a Fitbit to track sleep. The results of this pilot study will help determine whether a larger study should be conducted to better understand the role of acupuncture in managing hormone therapy side effects in men with prostate cancer.

The 24-week trial includes a 12-week FIM+DASH intervention followed by a 12-week maintenance period and leverages existing partnerships with community-based organizations for home food delivery and culinary skill-skill building. The main questions it aims to answer are: (1) What is the effect of FIM+DASH vs. usual care control on blood pressure? (2) What is the effect of FIM+DASH vs. usual care control on DASH diet adherence (diet quality), body weight, and waist circumference? (3) How to identify factors associated with the sustainability and scalability of FIM+DASH in real-world settings?

Organizational Skills Training vs Mindfulness for ADHD

13 - 17
All Sexes
Seattle, WA

This randomized control trial comparing Organizational Skills Training (OST) and Mindfulness-Based Intervention (MBI) among adolescents with a pre-existing ADHD diagnosis presenting to the Duke ADHD Program. Both treatments are eight 90 minute sessions. The research component will involve a pre-treatment assessment and post-treatment assessment. Both assessments will involve adolescents and one caregiver to complete questionnaires over REDCap. Rating scales will include ADHD symptom severity (Conners 3: self and parent report), functional impairment (IRS: self and parent report), executive functioning (BRIEF-2: parent report), emotion dysregulation (DERS: self and parent report), trait mindfulness (FFMQ: self report), organizational skills (BRIEF-2: parent report), treatment satisfaction (self report and parent report) and credibility (self report and parent report). Post-treatment assessments for feasibility will include attendance (measured over the course of treatment) and homework completion rates on a scale of 1 to 5 in which 5 indicates higher homework completion. We will also assess acceptability via individual items on a Likert scale (self report): overall satisfaction, how much was learned about ADHD, usefulness of information learned, content relevance to individual experience, comprehension of strategies, confidence about using strategies, likelihood of using strategies, helpfulness to share with the group, benefits from hearing from other group members, willingness to recommend the same treatment to others, and whether or not treatment was beneficial.

fMRI for Cognitive Flexibility

18 - 35
All Sexes
Iowa City, IA

The goal of this basic experimental research study is to examine how the human thalamus supports flexible thinking and behavior. Specifically, the research aims to elucidate how the mediodorsal (MD) thalamus encodes and updates "context"-the mental framework that determines which rules or actions are relevant in a given situation. This work may contribute to understanding why certain psychiatric conditions, such as schizophrenia and ADHD, involve difficulties with cognitive flexibility and control. The primary research questions are: Does the MD thalamus represent the context that organizes how working memory guides task selection? Does the MD thalamus signal when context needs to be updated after a change in task demands? Do these thalamic representations support generalization to new situations or rules? Participants will complete cognitive tasks while undergoing high-resolution brain imaging using 7-Tesla MRI. The investigators will combine behavioral data, computational modeling, and advanced neuroimaging analyses to examine how the thalamus interacts with the cortex during flexible decision-making.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if external trigeminal nerve stimulation (eTNS) works to treat ADHD symptoms in children on the autism spectrum (ASD). It will also learn about the efficacy and tolerability of the eTNS device. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does eTNS reduce ADHD symptoms? * Does eTNS improve core and associated features of ASD? Participation spans 8-12 weeks and includes: * 4-5 in-person visits * 4 brief virtual check-ins * Nightly use of the eTNS device with a small sticky patch applied to child's forehead * Randomized assignment (those who start with the sham device may try the active device later)
