RESUMO
Objective:To explore the influence of tomoxetine hydrochloride on the cognitive processing of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Methods:From January 2018 to July 2021, 62 ADHD children who were treated with tomoxetine hydrochloride for the first time for(8±4) weeks were selected as the ADHD group.And 62 healthy children matched with age and sex were selected as the healthy control group.Pre-test and post-test by the Das-Naglieri: Cognitive Assessment System(DN: CAS) were performed to evaluate the cognitive function of all individuals.The differences of cognitive processing in pre-treatment and post-treatment of ADHD group were compared with those in healthy control group.The difference between before and after treatment of ADHD group was also compared.SPSS 26.0 statistical software was adopted for statistical analysis.The scores of ADHD group pre-treatment and post-treatment were compared by paired sample t-test, and the scores of ADHD group pre-treatment and post-treatment were compared with those of healthy control group by independent sample t-test. Results:Compared with healthy control group, there were lower of planning score((18.77±5.92) vs (28.56±5.55)), attention score((22.24±5.93) vs (29.56±6.16)), simultaneous processing ((34.21±7.75) vs (37.61±6.29)), successive processing((30.37±7.12) vs (33.74±5.43)), and the total scores((105.60±21.29) vs (134.84±22.87)) in ADHD group before treatment, and there were significant differences( t=9.49, 6.74, 2.68, 2.96, 7.36, all P<0.05). Compared with healthy control group, there were lower of planning score ((22.13±5.99)s), attention score((25.26±7.11) with significant difference( t=6.20, 3.60, both P<0.05) in ADHD group after treatment.And there was no significant difference in the simultaneous processing test and the successive processing test after treatment compared with the healthy control group(both P>0.05). In ADHD group, the scores of planning, simultaneous processing, attention, successive processing and the total score were significantly higher after treatment than those before treatment and there were significant differences( t=-6.03, -4.13, -4.77, -5.48, -8.59, all P<0.05). (2) Compared with the healthy control group, there were lower of matching number score and other 8 sub-test scales in DN: CAS test in ADHD group before treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Meanwhile, there were still lower of matching number score and other 4 sub-test scales in DN: CAS test in ADHD group after treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The matching number score and other 10 sub-test scales in DN: CAS test in ADHD group after treatment were all higher than those of before treatment(all P<0.05). Conclusion:The planning, attention, simultaneous processing, successive processing and total cognitive function of ADHD children were significantly improved after treatment with tomoxetine hydrochloride, special for simultaneous processing and successive processing.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the influence of Methylphenidate Hydrochloride prolonged-release tablets on the cognitive processing of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Methods Thirty ADHD children and 30 healthy controls were enrolled in this study,and the ADHD subjects were treated with Methylphenidate Hydrochloride prolonged-release tablets for (28 ± 3) days.Pre-test and post-test by the Das-Naglieri:Cognitive Assessment System(DN:CAS) were done to evaluate the cognitive function of all individuals.The differences of cognitive processing in pre-treatment and post-treatment of ADHD group with healthy control group were compared.The difference between before and after treatment of ADHD was also compared.Results Compared with healthy control group,there were lower of planning score [(21.86 ± 4.61) scores vs.(29.33 ± 5.06) scores],attention score [(25.00 ± 4.57) scores vs.(29.83 ± 3.79) scores],and the total scores [(111.93 ± 13.95) scores vs.(127.26 ±15.53) scores] in ADHD group,and there were significant differences (t =-5.976,-4.455,-4.023,all P ＜0.05).The matching number,planned codes,planned connections,expressive attention,number detection and receptive attention scores were also lower in ADHD group,and there were significant differences (t =-4.787,-3.703,-4.991,-2.216,-2.488,-3.219,all P ＜ 0.05).Compared with healthy control group,there were lower of planning score with significant difference [(25.53 ± 4.98) scores vs.(29.33 ± 5.06) scores,t =-2.931,P ＜ 0.05] in ADHD group after treatment,matching number and planned codes were lower with significant difference (t =-2.654,-2.044,all P ＜ 0.05) in ADHD group after treatment.In ADHD group,the scores of planning [(25.53 ± 4.98)scores vs.(21.86 ± 4.61) scores],simultaneous processing [(36.10 ± 7.10) scores vs.(34.13 ± 6.04) scores],attention [(27.90 ± 5.69) scores vs.(25.00 ± 4.57) scores] and the total score [(121.50 ± 16.55) scores vs.(111.93 ± 13.95) scores] were significantly higher after treatment than that before treatment and there were significant differences (t =-5.679,-2.949,-3.869,-5.963,all P ＜ 0.05);matching number,planned codes,planned connections,nonverbal matrices,number detection,receptive attention and word series were significantly higher after treatment than that before treatment,and there were significant differences (t =-2.528,-3.209,-3.890,-2.276,-4.489,-2.208,-2.373,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The Methylphenidate Hydrochloride prolonged-release tablets can improve the function of cognitive processing in children with ADHD,especially in attention.
