Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change in ADHD Rating Scale Total Score
The ADHD Rating Scale DSM-5 (ADHD-RS-5) is a clinician-rated scale that reflects current symptoms of ADHD based on DSM-5 criteria. It is a global assessment that measures the severity of symptoms from visit to visit, but is not utilized to assess symptoms of ADHD over the course of the day. The ADHD-RS-5 consists of 18 items that are grouped into two subscales (hyperactivity/impulsivity, and inattention). Higher score means higher frequency and severity of symptoms.
Change from Baseline ADHD Rating Scale Total Score at 4 months
Secondary Outcomes (1)
