Diagnosis and Treatment of Cognitive Impairments in Attention Deficit Syndrome in Adults

Objectives. To clarify cognitive impairments in adults with attention deficit hyperactivity syndrome (ADHD) and to assess the efficacy of the formulation Memoplant in the treatment of this pathology. Materials and Methods. The results of clinical, psychological, and electroencephalographic studies of 40 patients aged 18–45 years with ADHD are presented. From recruitment into the study, all patients received Memoplant at a daily dose of 240 mg for eight weeks. Results and conclusions. Adult patients with ADHD had both subjective and objective impairments to memory and attention. EEG results suggested that patients showed dysfunction of the frontothalamic regulatory system and deficit of nonspecific activation by the reticular formation. Courses of Memoplant were followed by clinical improvements in 24 patients (60.0%). Repeat psychological and neurophysiological studies demonstrated decreases in attention deficit and improvements in memory measures.
