General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
1: To examine the modulation of the functional brain activity during working memory processes by therapeutic methylphenidate administration in ADHD patients
2: To examine the clinical improvement of ADHD symptoms and general functioning by therapeutic methylphenidate administration in ADHD patients
|
||
Protection of trial subjects |
Patients were seen at least two-weekly by a psychiatrist, including an interview with a review of symptoms and side effects, completion of the Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scale and completion of a standardised Side Effects Rating Scale for psychostimulants (SERS). Once a year (starting with the date of the first authorisation by the competent authority) throughout the trial a safety report according to § 13 (6) GCP-V and “Detailed guidance on the collection, verification and presentation of adverse reaction reports arising from clinical trials on medicinal products for human use, Rev. 2, April 2006” has been submitted to the competent authority and the Ethics Committee.

Evidence for comparator |
The treatment with the stimulant methylphenidate has a clinical effect in children, adolescent and adults with ADHD (Smith et al., 2000; Schachter et al., 2001; Faraone et al., 2004) and is therefore the first-line treatment for ADHD. The therapeutic administration of MPH in ADHD patients over four weeks seems to improve response inhibition as well as working memory task performance (Coghill et al., 2007) and recognition memory (Rhodes et al., 2004). A recent positron emission tomography (PET) study (Schweitzer et al., 2004) showed that optimal therapeutic administration of MPH over three weeks improves the working memory performance of ADHD patients and reduces the rCBF in the prefrontal cortex. In an randomized, placebo-controlled study over 6 weeks (Bush et al., 2008) a normalisation of the dorsal anterior midcingulate cortex activity during an Multi-Source Interference Task in the methylphenidate group has been found. | ||
