Official title
Comorbidity Between Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Fibromyalgia: Cross-prevalence in Patients Treated for ADHD Who Are naïve to Methylphenidate, ADHD Treated With Methylphenidate, or Fibromyalgia, and Associated Metabolomic Factors
Overview
The overall objective of the research project presented here is to assess the prevalence of fibromyalgia in patients being treated for ADHD, the prevalence of ADHD in patients being treated for fibromyalgia, and the neurobiological correlates of ADHD-fibromyalgia comorbidity.
Interventions
- Biological Samples
Blood and urine samples including metabolomic analyses. - Other Questionnaires
Completing self-assessment questionnaires - Other Sensitivity to mechanical pain
Assessment of sensitivity to mechanical pain (by using the Von Frey monofilament test)
Primary outcome measures
- Percentage of patients with fibromyalgia among patients with ADHD and no prior methylphenidate treatment [Time frame: Baseline]
Secondary outcome measures (10)
- Percentage of patients with fibromyalgia among patients with ADHD and a current methylphenidate treatment [Time frame: Baseline]
- Comparison of the levels of cytokines (specific biomarkers of inflammation), between patients with fibromyalgia without ADHD [Time frame: Baseline]
- Comparison of the levels of cytokines (specific biomarkers of inflammation), between patients with ADHD without fibromyalgia [Time frame: Baseline]
- Comparison of the levels of cytokines (specific biomarkers of inflammation), between patients with fibromyalgia with ADHD [Time frame: Baseline]
- Comparison of the levels of neuro-inflammation biomarkers (i.e., tryptophane derivatives, short carbon chain fatty acids, lipidomic profile) between patients with fibromyalgia without ADHD, [Time frame: Baseline]
- Comparison of the levels of neuro-inflammation biomarkers (i.e., tryptophane derivatives, short carbon chain fatty acids, lipidomic profile) between patients with ADHD without fibromyalgia [Time frame: Baseline]
- Comparison of the levels of neuro-inflammation biomarkers (i.e., tryptophane derivatives, short carbon chain fatty acids, lipidomic profile) between patients with fibromyalgia with ADHD [Time frame: Baseline]
- Comparison of the levels of 500 biomarkers of neurotransmission between patients with fibromyalgia without ADHD [Time frame: Baseline]
- Comparison of the levels of 500 biomarkers of neurotransmission between patients with: ADHD without fibromyalgia [Time frame: Baseline]
- Comparison of the levels of 500 biomarkers of neurotransmission between patients with fibromyalgia with ADHD [Time frame: Baseline]
