dextroamphetamine and Cognition Disorders

dextroamphetamine has been researched along with Cognition Disorders in 20 studies

Dextroamphetamine: The d-form of AMPHETAMINE. It is a central nervous system stimulant and a sympathomimetic. It has also been used in the treatment of narcolepsy and of attention deficit disorders and hyperactivity in children. Dextroamphetamine has multiple mechanisms of action including blocking uptake of adrenergics and dopamine, stimulating release of monamines, and inhibiting monoamine oxidase. It is also a drug of abuse and a psychotomimetic.
(S)-amphetamine : A 1-phenylpropan-2-amine that has S configuration.

Cognition Disorders: Disorders characterized by disturbances in mental processes related to learning, thinking, reasoning, and judgment.

Change From Baseline in Central Nervous System Vital Signs Computerized Cognitive Testing Battery Neurocognitive Domain and Index Scores at up to 9 Weeks/Endpoint

This measures the speed and accuracy of basic mental functions. Scores are normalized from raw scores and present an age matched score relative to other people in a normative sample. Scores are normalized with a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15. Scores < 70 indicate likely deficit and impairment, and scores > 110 indicate high function and capacity. Higher scores are better. (NCT00985725)
