Scientific titlePrediction of medication response in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Electroencephalogram (EEG) differences between responders and non-responders to methylphenidate
Study objectivesThe EEG profile in responders to methylphenidate will be differ from the EEG profile in non-responders to methylphenidate (i.e., higher total power, increased theta/beta ratio and theta/alpha ratio).
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from the local medical ethics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedMedication response in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
InterventionMethylphenidate 10 mg.
Intervention typeDrug
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Methylphenidate
Primary outcome measure(s)

Primary outcome measure is the absolute and relative power in different frequency bands of the EEG.

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

1. Event-related potentials in response to the stop-task and Continuous Performance Test (CPT)
2. EEG coherence
3. Scores on the Spatial Span (SSP) task and Spatial Working Memory (SWM) task from the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB)
4. Gene polymorphisms of the dopamine D4 receptor (DRD4), dopamine transporter (DAT1), and serotonin transporter (5-HTT)
5. Scores on the 18-item Swanson, Nolan and Pelham Teacher and Parent Rating Scale (SNAP-IV)
