Is ADHD Robbing Your Child of Sleep?
Lack of sleep (insomnia) may affect how your child feels during the day. There are currently no medicines approved to treat childhood ADHD-related insomnia.
There is a clinical research opportunity that may be available for your child.
A clinical research study is being conducted nationwide to evaluate a sleep drug currently approved for adults 18 and older but investigational for children 6-17.
The clinical study is assessing an investigational drug for children and teens who meet the following criteria:
• 6-17 years of age
• Experiencing sleep problems for at least 3 months
• Sleep problems that specifically cause difficulty in:
• Staying asleep
• Sleeping soundly (without tossing and turning)
• Study drug (or inactive placebo) at no cost
• Study-related monitoring by research health care professionals
• Possible reimbursement for time and travel
• An opportunity to learn more about your child's sleep problem
