Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and its application. Background Art

[0002] Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), also known as hyperkinetic disorder in children, is a chronic neurodevelopmental disorder mainly manifested by difficulties in concentrating, hyperactivity, impulsivity, etc., and is common in children. Epidemiological studies in recent years have shown that the global prevalence of ADHD is 3%-7%, and the prevalence in China has reached 6.26%. ADHD has a negative impact on children's quality of life, academic performance, self-esteem level, and social and family relationships, and is also associated with a variety of childhood mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, substance use disorder, and eating disorder. In addition, it is also related to anxiety and depression, and is even considered one of the risk factors for suicide.

[0003] Currently, the first-line drugs for treating ADHD are mainly methylphenidate, atomoxetine, etc. However, through clinical research, it has been found that the incidence of their adverse reactions is relatively high, including loss of appetite, dry mouth, palpitations, sleep problems, etc. Compared with Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine not only has stable curative effects but also has fewer side effects, and has thus become another way to treat ADHD, with unique advantages.

[0004] Pediatrics of the Xu family believes that the syndromes of ADHD mostly belong to the syndrome of "insufficiency of kidney yin and hyperactivity of heart yang" in traditional Chinese medicine. The overall pathogenesis of ADHD is the disharmony between yin and yang. Insufficiency of kidney yin in the lower part and hyperactivity of heart yang in the upper part lead to yin-yang imbalance and disharmony between water and fire, resulting in scattered mind, hyperactivity, and excessive talking. In "Plain Questions - Treatise on the Six Microscopic Pathways", it is said that "when there is hyperactivity, there will be harm, and it is necessary to have restraint to achieve transformation and generation", and it is also said that "under the monarch fire, yin essence should follow". For the syndrome of insufficient kidney water and excessive heart fire, according to the principle of the mutual rooting and mutual use of yin and yang, substances with the effects of suppressing yang, suppressing and calming, and nourishing yin should be used to reduce the excessive fire, tonify the insufficient yin and yang, and restore the normal state of the mutual transformation of water, fire, yin, and yang. Based on this, the traditional Chinese medicine composition of the present invention, also known as Longmu Ningxin Decoction hereinafter, uses raw dragon bone, raw oyster, and calcined magnetite with the effects of suppressing yang and calming the mind as the monarch drugs, and uses rehmannia root, tortoise shell, ophiopogon root, and asparagus root to nourish yin and tonify the kidney as the minister drugs. It is assisted by acorus tatarinowii, prepared polygala root, poria, wheat, and angelica to calm the mind and soothe the nerves, and Dioscorea opposita to protect the spleen and stomach. Schisandra chinensis and Alpinia oxyphylla are used as the envoy drugs to regulate the five zang-organs. The whole formula together exerts the effects of astringing yin and suppressing yang, calming the mind and nourishing the kidney. Good curative effects have been obtained in the previous clinical application observations. Therefore, further relevant clinical trials are designed to evaluate the curative effect of Longmu Ningxin Decoction in treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children, with the expectation of improving the effectiveness and safety of traditional Chinese medicine in treating ADHD. Summary of the Invention

[0073] Ineffective: The cumulative syndrome score decreased by less than 30%.

[0074] (3) Statistical methods

[0075] SPSS 25.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Measurement data were described by mean ± standard deviation for statistical description. For those conforming to the normal distribution, independent sample t-tests were used to compare the differences between groups. For the comparison of between-group and within-group differences at different time points, repeated measures analysis of variance and simple effect analysis were used; for those not conforming to the normal distribution, the median (25th percentile, 75th percentile) [P50(P25, P75)] was used for statistical description, and the Mann-Whitney U rank sum test was used for between-group comparison; for repeated measurement data, generalized estimating equations were used for analysis. Count data were described by frequency (constituent ratio), rate, and percentage. For the comparison between groups of binary or multi-class unordered variables, the X 2 test was used, and correlation analysis was used for related data; for unordered count data, the X 2 test was used for between-group and within-group comparison; for single-item ordered categorical data, the Mann-Whitney U rank sum test was used for between-group comparison, and the Wilcoxon test was used for within-group comparison; for repeated measurement categorical data, generalized estimating equations were used. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

[0076] 5. Experimental results

[0077] 1) General information

[0078] There were no statistically significant differences in the baseline data of the two groups of children in terms of gender, age, height, weight, etc. (P>0.05), ensuring the comparability of the two groups after treatment.

[0079] 2) The comparison of the efficacy of Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in the two groups is shown in Table 1-2, and there was no significant difference in the efficacy between the two groups.

[0080] 3) The comparison of the SNAP-IV scale scores of the two groups of children is shown in Table 3-5. Both groups could improve the scores of attention deficit, hyperactivity-impulsivity, and oppositional defiant behavior in children. The efficacy of the traditional Chinese medicine group was comparable to that of the Western medicine group (P<0.05).

[0081] 4) The comparison of the Conners scale scores of the two groups is shown in Table 7. Both groups could improve the scores of conduct problems, psychosomatic disorders, anxiety, hyperactivity index, learning problems, impulsive hyperactivity, and total score. With the extension of the treatment time, the traditional Chinese medicine group was more significant in improving the scores of conduct problems, psychosomatic disorders, anxiety, and hyperactivity index (P<0.05).

[0082] 5) The comparison of the WEISS scale scores of the two groups is shown in Table 8. Both groups could improve the scores of each dimension before and after treatment, and the long-term effect of the traditional Chinese medicine group was more significant than that of the Western medicine group (P<0.05).

[0083] 6) The comparison of the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores of the two groups is shown in Table 9. The scores of the main symptoms of traditional Chinese medicine in both groups of children decreased with the delay of treatment time. After 12 weeks of treatment, in terms of the scores of distraction, timidity and fearfulness, poor memory, and learning difficulties, the traditional Chinese medicine group was lower than the Western medicine group, and the efficacy was more significant (P<0.05). In terms of the secondary symptoms of traditional Chinese medicine, the improvement of the traditional Chinese medicine group was better than that of the Western medicine group (both P<0.05).

[0084] During this clinical research process, 5 children in the Western medicine group had gastrointestinal discomfort, and no other children had adverse reactions such as allergic reactions, liver and kidney function damage, gastrointestinal discomfort, and rash.
