Kratochvil等在一项前瞻性、随机的临床试验中，将228例 注意缺陷障碍儿童患者随机分为两组，即盐酸托莫西汀组184 例和哌甲酯组44例，l0周为1个疗程，采用注意缺陷障碍4度 评分法评价2种药物的疗效。结果盐酸托莫西汀组用药前评 分为(39．4±8．5)分，用药后为(20．0±13．9)分，而哌甲酯组用 药前评分(37．6±9．7)分，用药后为(19．8±16．6)分，两组的疗 效差异无显著性(P>0．05)；但因不良反应而中断用药的患者 盐酸托莫西汀组为5．4％ ，而哌甲酯组为11．4％。提示本品对 小儿多动症的疗效与哌甲酯相当，但具有较高的安全性和耐受 性。 Miehelson在另一项随机、安慰药对照、量效关系的研究 中，选择297例注意缺陷障碍患者(年龄8～I8岁的儿童和青少 年，其症状符合精神疾病的诊断和计量手册)，随机分为安慰药 组和3个治疗组(计量分别为0．5，1．2，1．8 nag·kg ·d )，持续治 疗8周；结果显示，与安慰药组相比，本品1．2和1．8 nag·kg‘。·d 治疗组可明显改善患者多动、冲动、情绪不稳等兴奋性行为 (P<0．05)，且1．8 nag。kg-‘·d。组的疗效与1．2 nag·kg- ·d- 组相 当，表明1．2 nag·kg/d为适宜的治疗剂量，增加剂量并不能增 强其疗效。
