Neurological Journal The article that I chose to write about is called “The Effect of Methylphenidate on Neurological Soft Signs in ADHD”. This article is based on a study of 35 patients that were treated with Methylphenidate to see if hyperactivity symptomatology was affected. The neurological soft signs (NSS) that were evaluated included poor coordination, speed or accuracy of limb or axial movements, including those required to keep balance, dysrhythmias and overflow (Hrtanek et al). NSS is commonly associated with a number of neuropsychiatric and behavioral disorders like ADHD, OCD, depression and conduct disorder.
The 35 children (29 boys and 6 girls ages 6-17) in this study were treated orally by extended- release methylphenidate. Dose
