Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In the presence of PTSD symptoms, children with ADHD experienced significantly improved ADHD symptom scores, suggesting that comorbidity does not attenuate an ADHD symptom response to GXR therapy."2.78An open-label study of guanfacine extended release for traumatic stress related symptoms in children and adolescents. ( Banga, A; Connor, DF; Grasso, DJ; Pearson, GS; Slivinsky, MD, 2013)
"Patients with chronic PTSD were randomized (1:1) to an 8-week double-blind, placebo-controlled treatment of guanfacine followed by a 2 month open label extension phase."2.73A placebo-controlled trial of guanfacine for the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder in veterans. ( Davis, LL; Frazier, E; Newell, JM; Rasmusson, A; Southwick, SM; Ward, C, 2008)
"Guanfacine was associated with a number of side effects."2.72No improvement of posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms with guanfacine treatment.
