The Efficacy of "Mindtesion"is Measuring Attentional and the Startle Response Dysregulation in Children and Adolescents Suffering From Attention Deficit Disorder: With and Without Medication.

February 23, 2023 updated by: Iris Manor, Geha Mental Health Center
Double blind, placebo-controlled clinical study designed to evaluate Mindtension device and Protocol as a diagnostic tool in children diagnosed with ADHD

Study Overview

Status

Recruiting

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

Mindtension device measures the orbicularis muscle response to auditory stimuli, the device is backed up by an algorithm that calculate the several parameters of startle reflex such as the Paired-pulse inhibition (PPI), Habituation, and startle related indices.

Data collected by the device is used to evaluate the subject levels of attention, Hyperarousal and Impulsivity, by means of physiological EMG signals of the startle response.

Evaluating baseline differences in these parameters between ADHD and age matched healthy controls, and the possible improvement after psychostimulant medications.
