An observational study in Pain Threshold and Attention Deficit Disorder With Hyperactivity (ADHD), sponsored by Sultan 1. Murat State Hospital. Completed at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Open to participants aged 6 Years to 17 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-12-30.
Sponsored by Sultan 1. Murat State Hospital · Observational
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the disease subtype affects the presence of chronic pain and pain perception threshold in pediatric patients followed up with the diagnosis of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, and to evaluate the factors that may be related to pain perception threshold in disease subtypes.
1,817 studies on the registry are indexed under Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity; 296 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 84 is below the median of 127 across 329 observational studies indexed under Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
The American Psychiatric Association’s manual of mental health diagnoses. DSM-5 (2013, revised as DSM-5-TR in 2022) replaced DSM-IV, and some studies still name the older edition. “Meets DSM criteria for …” means diagnosed by that edition’s diagnostic criteria, usually by a clinician in an interview.
A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.
Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Patients diagnosed with inattentive subtype of attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity according to DSM-5 diagnostic criteria.
Other: Pain perception threshold
Patients diagnosed with hyperactive-impulsive subtype of attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity according to DSM-5 diagnostic criteria.
Other: Pain perception threshold
Patients diagnosed with mix subtype of attention deficit disorder with hyperactivity according to DSM-5 diagnostic criteria.
Other: Pain perception threshold
The patients' pressure pain threshold will be evaluated with a manual pressure algometer (Baseline Dolorimtre®).The patients' pain perception thresholds will be measured bilaterally in the midfrontal region, the midpoint of the trapezius muscle, the lateral epicondyle, the midpoint of the web between the 1st and 2nd fingers, the greater trochanter, and the medial crease of the knee.
pressure pain threshold
The pressure pain threshold will be assessed with a manual pressure algometer (Baseline Dolorimtre®). The patients' pain perception thresholds will be measured bilaterally in the midfrontal region, the midpoint of the trapezius muscle, the lateral epicondyle, the midpoint of the web between the 1st and 2nd fingers, the greater trochanter, and the medial crease of the knee. During the measurement, the 1.52 cm2 flat circular probe of the algometer will be placed on the relevant area and the pressure will be increased by 1 kg/second. Patients will be asked to express their pain by saying 'stop' or raising their hands when they feel slight discomfort. The value for each reference area will be obtained by calculating the arithmetic mean of the paired measurements.
Time frame: Baseline
Presence of chronic pain
It will be questioned whether there has been continuous pain in any part of the body for at least 3 months.
Time frame: Baseline
Pain score
The patients' pain score will be evaluated with the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). A 10 cm long horizontal straight line will be used in the NRS evaluation. Before the evaluation, the patient will be informed that a value of 0 represents no pain and a value of 10 represents the most severe pain felt to date. Patients will be asked to answer by considering the average of their pain over the last 3 days.
Time frame: Baseline
Duration of chronic pain
The duration of pain that has continued for at least 3 months in any part of the body will be questioned.
Time frame: Baseline
Sociodemographic data of patient
gender, age, height, weight, age of onset of complaints, duration of medication use, number of siblings, primary caregiver
Time frame: Baseline
Sociodemographic data of patient's parents
Age, occupation, education level and psychiatric disease history of mother and father
Time frame: Baseline
Plan to share: Yes — If requested, the data of the study will be shared by the researchers.
