| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I conducted a randomized controlled trial on children with ADHD using NIRS, a safe and simple method to examine brain function. Comparing the therapeutic effects after 1 month of continued MPH administration with the increase in NIRS signal before and after a single dose of MPH, they found that a larger increase in NIRS signal was associated with better therapeutic outcome. Similar results were obtained for the therapeutic effects of MPH 1 year after administration. These results indicate that it may be possible to predict the long-term effects of MPH based on the changes in NIRS signals before and after administration of a single dose. I also investigated the effect of behavioral parent training in ADHD.Parent training was more effective in reducing behavioral problems, negative parenting and parenting stress than routine clinical care alone. Maternal ADHD symptoms and responsiveness to social approval were related to the severity of behavioral problems after parent training.
