Abstract

Individuals with attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) exhibit varied responses to pharmacological treatments (e.g. stimulants and non‐stimulants). Accurately and promptly detecting treatment‐related improvements, response failure, or deterioration poses significant challenges, as current monitoring primarily relies on subjective ratings. In this commentary, we critically evaluate the evidence supporting the use of QbTest for objectively monitoring ADHD treatment response in clinical practice. We also offer recommendations for future research, advocating for rigorous clinical trials and longitudinal studies to further explore the potential utilisation of QbTest and other tools for monitoring treatment responses in individuals with ADHD.

评论：使用 QbTest 监测多动症的药物治疗反应--我们做到了吗？

注意力缺陷/多动障碍（ADHD）患者对药物治疗（如兴奋剂和非兴奋剂）的反应各不相同。由于目前的监测主要依赖于主观评价，因此准确、及时地检测与治疗相关的改善、反应失败或恶化带来了巨大的挑战。在本评论中，我们对支持在临床实践中使用 QbTest 客观监测多动症治疗反应的证据进行了严格评估。我们还对未来的研究提出了建议，主张进行严格的临床试验和纵向研究，进一步探索使用 QbTest 和其他工具监测多动症患者治疗反应的可能性。
