It has been used to identify neurophysiological alterations in medication-naïve adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Hence, this study aimed to distinguish both medication-naïve and medicated adults with ADHD from healthy controls (HC). Method: 75 HCs, 75 medication-naïve, and 45 medicated patients took part in this study. fNIRS signals during a verbal fluency task (VFT) were acquired using a 52-channel system and relative oxy-hemoglobin changes in the prefrontal cortex were quantified. Results: Prefrontal cortex hemodynamic response was lower in patients than HCs (p � �.001). Medication-naïve and medicated patients did not differ in hemodynamic response or symptom severity (p >.05). fNIRS measurements were not associated with any clinical variables (p >.05). 75.8 patients and 76 HCs were correctly classified using hemodynamic response. Conclusion: fNIRS may be a potential diagnostic tool for adult ADHD. These findings need to be replicated in larger validation studies. © ©The Author(s) 2023. date: 2023 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85162761543&doi=10.1177%2f10870547231180111&partnerID=40&md5=f3f7796394d3ed9eb9dedb8dad043b8b id_number: 10.1177/10870547231180111 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Attention Disorders volume: 27 number: 13 pagerange: 1448-1459 refereed: TRUE citation: Husain, S.F. and Chiang, S.K. and Vasu, A.A. and Goh, C.P. and McIntyre, R.S. and Tang, T.B. and Tran, B.X. and Dang, T.H.T. and Nguyen, T.T. and Ho, R.C. and Ho, C.S.
