Patient's question:
My son has ADHD. Do children with ADHD have changes in brain evoked potentials? Is it very serious?Doctor's answer:
Due to difficulty in concentrating, children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) exhibit smaller amplitudes in brain evoked potentials during active attention, while their amplitudes are not significantly large during passive attention, indicating minimal changes in potential rates. Therefore, there are significant differences in brain evoked potentials between children with ADHD and normal children. It is recommended to first take the child to the hospital for examination before starting treatment.
