On the CGI-I scale , the analysis revealed that MPH was more effective than ATX and GXR .
For any adverse events , RBX ( 89 % ) was the safest alternative .
Network meta- analysis offered a broader overview on the available treatments for ADHD , especially for safety issues , and contributes towards evidence gathering and clinical practice decisions .
The aim of this study is to gather evidence of head-to-head double-blind r and omized-controlled trials on the efficacy and safety of available treatments for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD ) in children and adolescents .
A Comparative Study of the Efficacy of ACTH4–9 Analog, Methylphenidate, and Placebo on Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperkinesis
The present study compared the behavioral performance of 30 children with attention deficit disorder with hyperkinesis ( HK ) on electrophysiological , biochemical , behavioral , and psychometric measurements . HK children were partitioned into cells of 10 and were then treated with placebo , methylpheni date , and adrenocorticotropic hormone fractions ( ACTH4–9 analog ) , respectively , in a double-blind r and omized cell sequence according to body weight . The results revealed that HK children on methylpheni date manifested a significantly greater vasomotor reactivity , behavioral improvement , and learning receptivity than did HK children taking ACTH4–9 analog and /or placebo . Future research implication s with ACTH4–9 and HK children are discussed
