Patient assessed using the Korean version of the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children Version IV and were assigned to one of three groups: ADHD, ADHD-Not Otherwise specified (NOS), and Neurotypical (NT). The investigators measure absolute and relative EEG power in 19 channels and conducted an auditory continuous performance test. The investigators analyzed QEEG according to the frequency range: delta (1-4 Hz), theta (4-8 Hz), slow alpha (8-10 Hz), fast alpha (10-13.5 Hz), and beta (13.5-30 Hz). The subjects were then grouped by Ward's method of cluster analysis using the squared Euclidian distance to measure dissimilarities.", 'detailedDescription': "Participants between 7 and 12 years of age diagnosed with ADHD according to the DSM-5 criteria were included in the study. The ADHD diagnosis was based on a Korean version of the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children Version IV (DISC-IV), which is a structured interview tool, and these diagnoses were confirmed by multiple child and adolescent psychiatrists. If participants did not meet the ADHD diagnostic criteria of DSM-IV and DISC-IV, they were assigned to the Neurotypical (NT) group. Based on the results of the DISC-IV test, participants were assigned to the ADHD or Non-Other Specified (NOS) group. Patients who met the diagnostic criteria of ADHD in DSM-IV, but whose score did not exceed six, and had a score of more than three in the attention deficit or hyperactivity/impactivity scale of DISC-IV were included in the NOS group. Children with a history of brain damage, neurological disorders, genetic disorders, substance dependence, epilepsy, or any other mental disorder were excluded from participation. Children with an IQ of 70 or lower according to the Korean-Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Fourth Edition) or who were receiving drug treatment were also excluded from this study. The EEG recordings were performed using a SynAmps2 direct-current (DC) amplifier and a 10-20 layout 64-channel Quick-Cap electrode-placement system (Neuroscan Inc., NC, USA). The EEG data were digitally recorded from 19 gold cup electrodes placed according to the international 10-20 system. The impedances were maintained below 5 kΩ, and the sampling rate was 1000 Hz. The investigators use the linked mastoid reference and two additional bipolar electrodes to measure horizontal and vertical eye movements. During the recording, each participant laid in a dimly lit, electrically shielded, sound-attenuated room. Resting EEG recordings were recorded after three minutes with the participants' eyes closed."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['CHILD'], 'maximumAge': '12 Years', 'minimumAge': '7 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Patients who suspected attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder conducted QEEG and diagnosed with DISC-IV', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Participants between 7 and 12 years of age diagnosed with ADHD according to the DSM-5 criteria were included in the study\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Children with a history of brain damage, neurological disorders, genetic disorders, substance dependence, epilepsy, or any other mental disorder were excluded from participation.\n* Children with an IQ of 70 or lower according to the Korean-Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Fourth Edition) or who were receiving drug treatment were also excluded from this study'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT04467658', 'briefTitle': 'Neurophysiological Marker of ADHD in Children', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Daegu Catholic University Medical Center'}, 'officialTitle': 'Neurophysiological Marker of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Children', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'CR-18-096'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'ADHD', 'interventionNames': ['Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography absolute delta power', 'Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography relative delta power', 'Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography absolute theta power', 'Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography relative theta power', 'Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography absolute slow alpha power', 'Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography relative slow alpha power', 'Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography absolute fast alpha power', 'Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography relative fast alpha power', 'Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography absolute beta power', 'Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography relative beta power', 'Diagnostic Test: Korean ADHD rating scale', 'Diagnostic Test: Korean Version of Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children Version IV']}, {'label': 'NT NeuroTypical', 'interventionNames': ['Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography absolute delta power', 'Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography relative delta power', 'Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography absolute theta power', 'Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography relative theta power', 'Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography absolute slow alpha power', 'Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography relative slow alpha power', 'Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography absolute fast alpha power', 'Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography relative fast alpha power', 'Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography absolute beta power', 'Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography relative beta power', 'Diagnostic Test: Korean ADHD rating scale', 'Diagnostic Test: Korean Version of Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children Version IV']}, {'label': 'ADHD NOS', 'interventionNames': ['Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography absolute delta power', 'Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography relative delta power', 'Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography absolute theta power', 'Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography relative theta power', 'Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography absolute slow alpha power', 'Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography relative slow alpha power', 'Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography absolute fast alpha power', 'Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography relative fast alpha power', 'Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography absolute beta power', 'Diagnostic Test: electroencephalography relative beta power', 'Diagnostic Test: Korean ADHD rating scale', 'Diagnostic Test: Korean Version of Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children Version IV']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'electroencephalography absolute delta power', 'type': 'DIAGNOSTIC_TEST', 'description': 'We used MATLAB 7.0.1 (Math Works, Natick, MA, USA) and the EEGLAB toolbox to pre-process and analyze the EEG recordings.
