Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

We plan to recruit 200 children and adolescents aged between 6 to 17 years old in two years. Those patients would receive clinical interview by child psychiatrists to diagnose as ADHD and to exclude mental retardation, major psychiatric disorders and medical disorders. Moreover, we excluded children who ever received ADHD medication treatment more than one year, or received medication in recent 30 days. Initial assessment includes collecting saliva sample, and complete questionnaires (SNAP-IV), clinical rating (CGI-S) and psychological test (CPT-II, WISC-IV, CANTAB). After 1 month methylphenidate treatment, we would evaluate SNAP-IV, CGI-S, CGI-I and Barkley Psychostimulants Side Effects Rating Scale. We also would collect saliva samples to perform appetite related gene phenotyping to see the association between medication side effect and polymorphism of appetite related genes.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Barkley psychostimulants side effect scale [One month methylphenidate use]

      This scale included 17 most common side-effects of methylphenidate. The occurrence of each side-effect was rated on a Likert scale ranging from 0 (not a problem) to 9 (severe).

    2. Clinical Global Impression scale-Improvement (CGI-I) [One month methylphenidate use]

      This scale was used to evaluate the improvement after medication treatment. It's a Likert scale range from 1 (very much improved) through to 7 (very much worse).
