										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The study focuses on adults diagnosed with <b>Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder</b>. It tests whether a very small oral dose (20 µg) of <b>LSD</b>, supplied as a solution and identified by the code name LYsergide, can affect symptoms. A matching placebo (1 mL of 95 % ethanol) is used for comparison.</p>
<p>The purpose is to determine if this microdose can improve core ADHD symptoms, help with emotional regulation, and enhance sleep.</p>
<p>Participants will receive either the study drug or the placebo each day for a set number of weeks. Throughout the trial, they will attend regular visits where simple questionnaires about attention, mood, and sleep are completed, and a brief blood sample is taken to assess the activity of the enzyme <b>CYP2D6</b>, which helps the body process medicines. Safety checks and brief assessments are performed to monitor any effects.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying the effects of the medication <i>methylphenidate</i> on brain activity in adults with <i>Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)</i>, with or without mood disorders. The study will compare the effects of methylphenidate to a placebo. Methylphenidate is commonly used to help improve attention and focus in individuals with ADHD. The trial aims to understand how this medication affects brain circuits related to cognitive functions, which are mental processes that include thinking, learning, and memory.</p>
<p>Participants in the study will include adults diagnosed with ADHD, both those who have mood disorders and those who do not, as well as a group of healthy individuals without any psychiatric or neurological history. The study will involve using advanced imaging techniques like <i>EEG</i> (electroencephalogram) and <i>MRI</i> (magnetic resonance imaging) to observe changes in brain activity. These techniques help researchers see how the brain responds to tasks and rest periods, and how methylphenidate might alter these responses.</p>
<p>The study will take place over a period of time, during which participants will receive either methylphenidate or a placebo. Researchers will measure various outcomes, such as changes in brain blood flow and cognitive performance, to determine the impact of the medication. The goal is to better understand how methylphenidate affects brain function in people with ADHD and mood disorders, which could lead to improved treatment strategies in the future.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying the effects of a medication called <i>Ritalin</i> in adults with <i>Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)</i>. ADHD is a condition that affects attention, activity levels, and impulsivity, and it can have a significant impact on daily life. The study is particularly interested in comparing how the body processes <i>Ritalin</i> in adults with ADHD who are also living with obesity, compared to those with ADHD who are not obese.</p>
<p>The purpose of the study is to understand how <i>Ritalin</i> and its active component, known as alpha-phenyl 2-piperidine acid, behave in the body over time. Participants will be given <i>Ritalin</i> in the form of a prolonged-release capsule, which means the medication is released slowly into the body. The study will involve taking blood samples at various times after taking the medication to measure how much of the drug and its active component are present in the bloodstream. This will help researchers see if there are differences between those with and without obesity.</p>
<p>Throughout the study, participants will also be asked about how effective they feel <i>Ritalin</i> is in managing their ADHD symptoms, such as attention and hyperactivity. This feedback will be collected using a simple scale. The study will also gather some basic information about participants, like age, weight, and lifestyle habits, to help understand the results better. The study is expected to continue until March 2026.</p>
