Popis: Objective: We compared the placebo response (PR) as measured by the Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA) and the Conners’ Adult ADHD Rating Scale (CAARS) scores. Method: A retrospective data analysis from a double-blind placebo-controlled study of metadoxine-ER in adults with ADHD. An additional database was used for comparison to TOVA response after methylphenidate challenge (TOVA-MPH-R). Results: PR was highest when calculated from the TOVA-Attention Composite Score (ACS). The PR showed significantly fewer variables improving concomitantly compared with MPH-R. The most prominent correlation between the CAARS-PR and the TOVA-PR was in the Omissions score ( p = .032), which was age-dependent ( b = .0007, p
