ADHD Rating Scale,<br />
hyperactive/impulsive subscale<br />
ATX baseline (n = 64), mean (SD) 19.3<br />
(6.1), change mean (SD) –8.0 (7.4)<br />

Conclusions Authors’ conclusions: ATX significantly reduced ADHD Rating Scale total scores compared with placebo (p < 0.001). Changes in <strong>the</strong><br />
CGI–ADHD-S (p = 0.003) <strong>and</strong> CPRS–ADHD Index (p = 0.023) also showed ATX to be statistically superior to placebo in reducing<br />
ADHD symptoms. ATX was effective for <strong>the</strong> treatment <strong>of</strong> children with ADHD. In addition, ATX was found to be well tolerated<br />
