LearningRx Cognitive Training for ADHD

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The purpose of this investigation is to conduct a series of case studies on the impact of LearningRx cognitive training on cognitive skills, brain structure, and daily functioning for participants with ADHD.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Using a multiple baseline design across cases with start point randomization, the proposed study will examine the outcomes from LearningRx one-on-one cognitive training across domains on standardized measures used to monitor treatment effectiveness for ADHD.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: LearningRx cognitive training<br>The intervention is a 60-hour, clinician-delivered cognitive training program. | Behavioral: LearningRx cognitive training<br>* A clinician will deliver three 90-minute cognitive training sessions per week for 14 weeks.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Evidence of overall cognitive function improvement | Confirmed by change in pretest to post-test scores on the Woodcock Johnson IV - Tests of Cognitive Abilities | within 14 days after completing the intervention | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Evidence of change in brain activity | As confirmed by pretest to post-test changes in electrical activity measured by qEEG | within 30 days after completing the intervention | 
| Evidence of reduction in ADHD symptoms | As confirmed by pretest to post-test changes on the ADHD Rating Scale | within 14 days after completing the intervention | 
| Evidence of change in brain structure | Confirmed by change in pretest to post-test neuroimaging using MRI | within 30 days after completing the intervention | 
| Evidence of improvement in visual or auditory attention | Confirmed by change in pretest to post-test scores on the Conners Continous Performance Test (CPT-3) and Auditory Attention Test (CATA) | with 14 days after completing the intervention |
