Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
Official Title: | An Open-Label Pilot Study of Atomoxetine Hydrochloride to Evaluate Neuropsychological Function in Children Ages 6 to 10 Years With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. |
Study Start Date : | September 2005 |
Study Completion Date : | June 2006 |

- The neuropsychological status in five domains as measured by the change in the NEPSY from baseline to 6 months post-initiation of atomoxetine treatment in children ages 6 to 10.5 diagnosed with ADHD.
- Assess changes in executive function and attention;Compare changes in neuropsychological status in a normal control group, gender and age matched to atomoxetine-treated patients at baseline and 6 months
- Efficacy of atomoxetine after 2 and 6 months, or endpoint from baseline;Assess the correlation of change from baseline to 6 months, or at study discontinuation, in ADHD symptoms with change from baseline in the neuropsychological functioning
- Assess the relationships of change from baseline to approximately 2 and 6 months, or endpoint in the core symptoms of ADHD with the changes in functional outcomes as assessed by the WFIRS-P
- Examine the French language version of the WFIRS-P questionnaire's psychometric properties including internal consistency and responsiveness to change.
