---|---|
Experimental: original This study use 18 and 36 mg of original prolong-release methylphenidate. Dosing of Medication is equivalent to immediate-release. Medication administration is once daily in the morning. |
Drug: prolong-release methylphenidate
This randomization, cross-over design study will enroll subjects who receive a stable dose of immediate-release methylphenidate (IR-MPH) for at least 4 weeks. Eligible subjects will be switching from IR-MPH to the first brand prolong-release methylphenidate (PR-MPH) for 4 weeks and switching to another brand for 4 weeks. The study consists of 3 parts: screening, study period, and post-treatment follow-up. The duration of this study will be 8 weeks with 2 visits during the study period. The primary outcome is the efficacy of treatment will be evaluated by SNAP-IV.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The change from baseline in parent Swansan, Nolan and Pelham version IV (SNAP-IV) parent rating score [baseline, 4 and 8 week]
SNAP-IV,26 items score, included 18-items that reflect ADHD symptoms and 8-items that reflect oppositional defiant disorder symptoms
Secondary Outcome Measures
- The change from baseline in Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) scale [baseline, 4 and 8 week]
CGI-S scale is measured the severity of symptoms by physician, rated from 1 (normal) to 7 (among the most severely ill patients)
- The difference in discontinuation rate between two groups of treatment [4 and 8 week]
Discontinuation rate is a proportion of patients who discontinue medication from any reason
- The difference in adverse events rate between two groups of treatment [baseline, 4 and 8 week]
adverse events rate is a proportion of patients who have the adverse events
