E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To test the hypothesis that methylphenidate immediate release given twice daily (BID) is significantly superior to placebo in the treatment of manic symptoms in patients with bipolar disorder after 2.5 days of treatment as assessed by the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS). |
Probar la hipótesis de que el metilfenidato de liberación inmediata dos veces al día (BID) es significativamente superior al placebo en el tratamiento de los síntomas maníacos en pacientes con trastorno bipolar después de 2.5 días de tratamiento según la evaluación de la Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
1. Methylphenidate immediate release given BID is significantly superior to placebo in the treatment of manic symptoms in patients with bipolar disorder after 2 hours of treatment as assessed by the YMRS 2. 2.5 days of treatment with methylphenidate but not with placebo stabilise vigilance regulation as assessed by the ‘Vigilance Algorithm Leipzig’ (VIGALL) 3. Instability of vigilance regulation as assessed by the VIGALL predicts response to methylphenidate immediate release 4. Methylphenidate immediate release given BID is associated with significantly less movements over the study period than placebo as assessed by actigraphy 5. Methylphenidate is significantly superior to placebo in improving sustained attention as assessed by the “Continuous Performance Test” (CPT) |
1. El metilfenidato de liberación inmediata administrado dos veces al día es significativamente superior al placebo en el tratamiento de los síntomas maníacos en pacientes con trastorno bipolar después de 2 horas de tratamiento según la evaluación de la YMRS 2. Dos días y medio de tratamiento con metilfenidato, pero no con el placebo estabilizan la regulación de vigilancia según la evaluación de la "Vigilancia de Leipzig algoritmo (VIGALL) 3. La inestabilidad de la regulación de la vigilancia según la evaluación de la VIGALL predice la respuesta al metilfenidato de liberación inmediata 4. El metilfenidato de liberación inmediata administrado dos veces al día se asocia con los movimientos significativamente menores durante el período de estudio que el placebo según la evaluación de actigrafía 5. El metilfenidato es significativamente superior al placebo en mejorar el rendimiento cognitivo, evaluado por el " Screen for Cognitive Impairment in Psychiatry (SCIP). |
