Study Overview
Brief Summary
The HX106 group showed a greater improvement in total attention (16.8% better) and inattention (17.2% better) scores, compared to the placebo group. The HX 106 group showed increased brain activity within the left precuneus, compared to the placebo group. The HX 106 group also showed increased functional connectivity from the precuneus seed to the left middle temporal gyrus, compared to the placebo group. In all participants, the changes in K-ARS scores were negatively correlated with changes in brain activity within the left middle temporal gyrus. Conclusions: HX 106 enhanced the effect of methylphenidate on ADHD symptom improvement, as well as increased brain activity within the attention regulation network. Therefore, HX 106 may provide a promising option for adjunctive therapy for patients with ADHD.
