ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based treatment for adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, it is still inconsistent whether a combination of CBT would have additive effects in medicated ADHD in adulthood. And if CBT would have additional effects, what kind and which dimension would CBT play a part? This study estimates the efficacy of CBT in stable medicated adult ADHD, using long-term outcomes and multidimensional evaluations. METHODS ANDANALYSIS:
It is a two-armed, randomised controlled trial on the superiority of the efficacy of 12 weeks of CBT on medicated adult ADHD. We compare the short-term and long-term outcomes between CBT combined with medication (CBT+M) group and the medication-only (M) group, including ADHD core symptoms, emotional symptoms, executive function, self-esteem, life quality and brain function using functional near-infrared spectroscopy data. Participants are outpatients of the Peking University Sixth Hospital and those recruited online, diagnosed as adult ADHD and with stable medication treatment. We estimate ADHD core symptoms and combined symptoms at baseline (T1) and week 12 (T2), week 24 (T3), week 36 (T4) and week 48 (T5). ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This trial has been approved by the Ethics and Clinical Research Committees of Peking University Sixth Hospital and will be performed under the Declaration of Helsinki with the Medical Research Involving Human Subjects Act (WMO). The results will be disseminated in a peer-reviewed journal and a conference presentation. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ChiCTR (ChiCTR1900021705).Palavras-chave
