Open Label Study of the Effect of Individualizing Daytrana Wear-times on Sleep in Children 6-12 Years Old With ADHD
Methylphenidate may improve sleep in children with ADHD. By leaving Daytrana
(methylphenidate) patch for a longer time then 9 hours, many children report short sleep
latencies and better quality of sleep.
Once the optimal dose of Daytrana that controlled the ADHD symptoms is established. The
patch will be removed 1, 2, and 3 hours before bed time in a random fashion, at weekly
intervals, and parents will keep a sleep diary.
50 patients will be enrolled in order to obtain statistical significance.
