Brief summary

The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Mexidol® film-coated tablets (125 mg) compared to a placebo in children aged 6 to 12 years with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This multicenter, prospective, double-blind, randomized trial included 333 children who met the diagnostic criteria established by the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Participants received either Mexidol or placebo for 42 days, and various efficacy and safety parameters were assessed.

The SNAP-IV is based on a 0 to 3 rating scale: Not at all = 0, Just a little = 1, Often = 2, and Very often = 3. The questions measure different domains of ADHD and ODD. Subscale scores are calculated by summing the scores on the subset and dividing by the number of items in the subset. The main criterion for the treatment efficacy was the mean change in the total score on the inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity subscales after 6 weeks of therapy. A conclusion of superiority of Mexidol over placebo can be made if the upper limit of the 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean changes is negative. 55 point scale: min value 0, max value 54, higher scores mean a worse outcome.

Built upon contemporary diagnostic frameworks, the SCAS-Parent evaluates six distinct domains of anxiety that align with clinical diagnostic categories. Each question on the test addresses the frequency of certain anxiety symptoms, measured on a 0-3 scale from never, sometimes, often, to always. SCAS-Parent scores consist of a total raw score (range from 0 to 114) and six sub-scale scores, with higher scores indicating greater severity of anxiety symptoms. 124 point scale: min value 0, max value 123, higher scores mean a worse outcome.

It consists of 3 subscales. The subscale Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) is a 7-point scale that assesses how much the patient's illness has improved or worsened relative to a baseline state at the beginning of the intervention, and rated as: 1, very much improved; 2, much improved; 3, minimally improved; 4, no change; 5, minimally worse; 6, much worse; or 7, very much worse. 7 point scale: min value 1, max value 7, higher scores mean a worse outcome.

The PedMIDAS is scored by summing the answers across the six questions. The frequency and severity are not scored but can be used for clinical reference. PedMIDAS score range from 0 to 10 indicates little to none disability grade, score range from 11 to 30 indicates mild disability grade, score range from 31 to 50 indicates moderate disability grade and score range greater than 50 indicates severe disability grade.

Each question measures the frequency of the behavior on a 0-3 scale from rarely or never, sometimes, often, to very often. The questionnaire is intended to be filled out by parents and teachers. Higher scores indicate greater severity of ADHD symptoms. 55 point scale: min value 0, max value 54, higher scores mean a worse outcome.

Assessment Using the Pediatric Migraine Disability Assessment Questionnaire (PedMIDAS), Days

The Pediatric Migraine Disability Assessment questionnaire (PedMIDAS) is used to assess the impact of headaches on school performance (three questions), activities at home (one question on homework or chores), and social and/or sports functions (two questions). The PedMIDAS is scored by summing the answers across the six questions. The frequency and severity are not scored but can be used for clinical reference. PedMIDAS score range from 0 to 10 indicates little to none disability grade, score range from 11 to 30 indicates mild disability grade, score range from 31 to 50 indicates moderate disability grade and score range greater than 50 indicates severe disability grade. Min value 0, max value 240, higher scores mean a worse outcome.

Time frame: Visit 5 (after 6 weeks of therapy) compared to the baseline level (Visit 2 Day1 = Randomization Visit)

Population: The scores on this questionnaire were evaluated only for patients who were found tohave a headache. Thus, the data for comparing the results at the end of the therapy withthe results at the beginning of the therapy were available for 18 patients.

Assessment Using the Pediatric Migraine Disability Assessment Questionnaire (PedMIDAS), Headache Severity

The Pediatric Migraine Disability Assessment questionnaire (PedMIDAS) is used to assess the impact of headaches on school performance (three questions), activities at home (one question on homework or chores), and social and/or sports functions (two questions). The PedMIDAS is scored by summing the answers across the six questions. The frequency and severity are not scored but can be used for clinical reference. PedMIDAS score range from 0 to 10 indicates little to none disability grade, score range from 11 to 30 indicates mild disability grade, score range from 31 to 50 indicates moderate disability grade and score range greater than 50 indicates severe disability grade. Min value 0, max value 240, higher scores mean a worse outcome.

Average Change in the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale-IV (ADHD-RS-IV) Score

The Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Rating Scale (ADHD-RS) is an 18-question inventory used to aid in the diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children. Each question measures the frequency of the behavior on a 0-3 scale from rarely or never, sometimes, often, to very often. The questionnaire is intended to be filled out by parents and teachers. Higher scores indicate greater severity of ADHD symptoms. 55 point scale: min value 0, max value 54, higher scores mean a worse outcome.

Average Change in the Spence Children's Anxiety Scale - Parent Version (SCAS-Parent) Score

The Spence Children's Anxiety Scale - Parent Version (SCAS-Parent) is a 39-item parent report measure designed to assess anxiety symptoms in children. Built upon contemporary diagnostic frameworks, the SCAS-Parent evaluates six distinct domains of anxiety that align with clinical diagnostic categories. Each question on the test addresses the frequency of certain anxiety symptoms, measured on a 0-3 scale from never, sometimes, often, to always. SCAS-Parent scores consist of a total raw score (range from 0 to 114) and six sub-scale scores, with higher scores indicating greater severity of anxiety symptoms. 124 point scale: min value 0, max value 123, higher scores mean a worse outcome.

Average Change in the Swanson, Nolan and Pelham Teacher and Parent Rating Scale (SNAP-IV), Subscale Connors Index

The Swanson, Nolan and Pelham Teacher and Parent Rating Scale (SNAP-IV) is a 90-question self-report inventory designed to measure attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) symptoms in children and young adults. The SNAP-IV is based on a 0 to 3 rating scale: Not at all = 0, Just a little = 1, Often = 2, and Very often = 3. The questions measure different domains of ADHD and ODD. Subscale scores on the SNAP-IV are calculated by summing the scores on the subset and dividing by the number of items in the subset. The score for any subset is expressed as the Average Rating-Per-Item. 31 point scale: min value 0, max value 30, higher scores mean a worse outcome.
