[Efficacy of lisdexamphetamine to improve the behavioural and cognitive symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: treatment monitored by means of the AULA Nesplora virtual reality test].
    Revista de neurologia, 2016, Jul-01, Volume: 63, Issue:1

    Lisdexanfetamine (LDX) is the drug for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) undergoing the largest research volume in the latest years. However, no studies certify its usefulness for the improvement of cognitive functioning in ADHD.. To evaluate the efficacy of LDX in the behavioral and cognitive improvement of a group of patients with ADHD. Such efficacy was measured by means of the administration of AULA Nesplora virtual reality test before the prescription of pharmacological treatment and right after the treatment with LDX.. The sample comprised 85 patients between 6 and 16 years, with clinical diagnosis of ADHD, who attended treatment in a neuropediatrics consultation. All patients started pharmacological treatment with the proper dose of LDX after the clinical interview and the first administration of AULA test. After an average treatment of 7.5 months, AULA was administered again and the treatment progress based on cognitive and motor symptomatology was assessed.. Results showed highly significant improvements in selective and sustained attention, quality of attention focus and hyperactivity; moderate improvements in impulsivity; and an incidence close to zero in processing speed.. LDX constitutes an adequate treatment for the substantial improvement of attention and hyperactivity; such improvement can be monitored accurately by means of AULA virtual reality test.. Eficacia de la lisdexanfetamina en la mejora sintomatica conductual y cognitiva del trastorno por deficit de atencion/ hiperactividad: tratamiento monitorizado mediante el test AULA Nesplora de realidad virtual.. Introduccion. La lisdexanfetamina (LDX) es el farmaco para el trastorno por deficit de atencion/hiperactividad (TDAH) con mayor volumen de investigacion de los ultimos años. No obstante, no hay estudios que certifiquen su utilidad para la mejoria del funcionamiento cognitivo en el TDAH. Objetivo. Evaluar la eficacia de la LDX en la mejora sintomatica conductual y cognitiva en un grupo de pacientes con TDAH. Dicha eficacia fue medida mediante la administracion del test AULA Nesplora de realidad virtual antes de la prescripcion del tratamiento farmacologico y despues del tratamiento con LDX. Pacientes y metodos. La muestra estaba compuesta por 85 pacientes de 6-16 años, con diagnostico clinico de TDAH y que asistian a tratamiento en una consulta de neuropediatria. Todos los pacientes iniciaron el tratamiento farmacologico con la correspondiente dosis de LDX tras la entrevista clinica y la primera administracion del test AULA. Tras un tratamiento medio de 7,5 meses, se les administro AULA nuevamente y se valoro el progreso del tratamiento farmacologico sobre la sintomatologia cognitiva y motora. Resultados. Se apreciaron mejorias muy significativas en la atencion selectiva y sostenida, la calidad del foco atencional y la hiperactividad, mejorias moderadas en la impulsividad, y una incidencia casi nula en la velocidad de procesamiento. Conclusiones. La LDX constituye un tratamiento adecuado para la mejora sustancial de la atencion e hiperactividad, y dicha mejora puede monitorizarse de forma precisa mediante el test de realidad virtual AULA.
