| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of the present study was to clarify the medium- to long-term effects of treatments based on the changes of brain function and structure by using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional MRI in patients with childhood chronic fatigue syndrome and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Unfortunately, we could not sufficient correct data affected by COVID-19 pandemic. Although the changes in brain function and structure after the continuous treatments in these patients were not detected, autonomic nerve function and cognitive function were partly altered by the continuous treatments, suggesting these evaluation methods may be partly useful for evaluation of treatment effects.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究は、不登校児に多数含まれるCCFSと発症率が比較的高いADHDといった社会医学・教育学的に大変重要な課題に焦点を当てている。両疾患に共通する慢性疲労、不注意と学習意欲低下等の愁訴を基に、中長期的な治療法について、MRIによる脳機能・形態マッピング手法を駆使した客観的な脳情報の可視化と小児・思春期の成長・発達への影響も鑑みながら効果判定を試みる本研究の学術的意義や社会的意義は高いと考えられる。
