Early identification of stimulant treatment responders, partial responders and non-responders using objective measures in children and adolescents with hyperkinetic disorder

What is it about?

The most commonly used medications are fast acting, therefore it is possible to assess medication response in the clinic within an hour or so if you use objective tests. This paper assesses the extent to which ADHD patients respond to medication using a particular commercially available test (Qb test).
