Release date: 2014-09-05 Research by researchers at Tel Aviv University in Israel and their team at Vision Research revealed that unconscious eye movements suggest the possibility of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and that therapeutic drugs are indeed effective. This result will provide doctors with an objective means to diagnose ADHD. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), ADHD is the most common behavioral disorder in children and is most likely to be misdiagnosed. However, there are still no reliable physiological indicators as diagnostic criteria. Doctors usually diagnose through parental and family medications and social history, then discuss and observe parental behavior. However, if the judgment is wrong, it will lead to excessive use of Ritalin (methylphenidate, central stimulant), which will also cause parents' concerns. The research team's Dr. Fried himself was diagnosed with an ADHD patient and he said the study had two purposes. First of all, it is to provide a new means for the diagnosis of ADHD. The second is to determine if the drug treatment for ADHD is really effective. In the experiment, the researchers used an eye tracking system to record the unconscious eye movements of the subjects. Twenty-two adults in the experimental and control groups received a computerized diagnosis called the Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA). Repeat twice, 22 minutes each time. Participants in the experimental group were all ADHD patients. They did not use the drug for the first test and the central stimulant for the second test. The control group did not have ADHD. As a result, there was a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group, as well as between the two tests of the experimental group. The researchers found out whether people can suppress eye movements directly related to whether they have ADHD. Moreover, they also demonstrated that central stimulant drugs can inhibit unconscious eye movements and reach the average level of normal people. In other words, central stimulants are not so-called "placebos." This method of tracking unconscious eye movements is inexpensive and convenient, and can be used as a reliable physiological indicator for the diagnosis of ADHD, which is easily used by medical personnel for clinical diagnosis. Currently, the research team is conducting more tests on more experimental subjects to explore the practical applicability of the method.

Simple diagnosis index for children with ADHD: unconscious eye movement
According to the Life Science Research Express, researchers from Tel Aviv University in Israel and their team found that unconscious eye movements suggest the possibility of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and also prove that therapeutic drugs are effective.
