Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - Dyslexia |
| Purpose: |
|
This study will evaluate the effects of atomoxetine on brain activation during attention and
reading tasks via functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) in patients ages 10 to 16
years old with ADHD and comorbid dyslexia
|
| Study summary: |
|
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, single site study that uses an fMRI
measurement to assess brain activation during attention and reading tasks and the effects of
atomoxetine in reducing symptoms of ADHD in patients with ADHD and comorbid dyslexia.
Similar assessments are performed in two additional groups of patients with ADHD only and
dyslexia only to determine to what extent symptomatic change in the comorbid ADHD & dyslexia
is achieved independently by atomoxetine effects on either condition. A healthy control
group of non-ADHD, non-dyslexia subjects (20) will be included to monitor practice effects &
effects of treatment that may be interpreted as normal maturation. The healthy control group
will not be treated with any study medications. |
