Protocol summary

Study aim
Investigating the therapeutic effect of Neurosed syrup on the symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), investigating the possible side effects of using this drug.
Design
A double-blind, controlled, randomized, phase 3 clinical trial on 50 patients. A and B cards are used for randomization.
Settings and conduct
50 people from children with ADHD, referring to Imam Ali Clinic in Shahre-kord will be gradually included in the study using the available method. Using cards A and B, people are placed in two intervention or control groups. Neurosed syrup will be given to the intervention group and placebo to the control group. At this time, the symptoms related to ADHD disorder in these children are investigated using the Conners parent questionnaire, which is completed by the child's father or mother. After the completion of the one-month treatment period, the mentioned questionnaire is filled again by the parent. The changes in the obtained score are analyzed to check the effect of the drug. The doctor conducting the trial and the patient do not know the content of syrups A and B until the end of the study, so the study is double-blind.

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Patients will be gradually included in the study according to the available method and will be assigned to two intervention and control groups based on the random allocation method. For this purpose, we place 50 cards with the letter A on 25 of them and the letter B on the other 25 in an envelope and randomly take out one card for each patient. The word that comes out shows the group of the patient.

In order to blind the patients, Norosed syrup and placebo are prepared from the same company and in the same packaging. The doctor conducting the trial and the patient do not know the content of the original syrups and placebo until the end of the study and extracting the results, so the study is double-blind.
