CONCLUSION: This open study indicates that hyperexcitable children have low ERC-Mg with normal serum Mg(2+) values, and that Mg(2+)/vitamin B6 supplementation can restore normal ERC-Mg levels and improve their abnormal behavior.

Hyperactivity was assessed with the aid of psychometric scales: the Conners Rating Scale for Parents and Teachers, Wender's Scale of Behavior and the Quotient of Development to Freedom from Distractibility. In the group of children given 6 months of magnesium supplementation, independently of other mental disorders coexisting with hyperactivity, an increase in magnesium contents in hair and a significant decrease of hyperactivity of those examined has been achieved, compared to their clinical state before supplementation and compared to the control group which had not been treated with magnesium.

We studied prevalence of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in senior schoolchildren of Nefteyugansk (Khanty-Mansysky autonomic region) it was 8% (13% among boys and 3% among girls). Clinical examination of 122 children, aged 6-11 years, revealed that risk factors for ADHD were perinatal CNS injures, familial predisposition, unfavorable social and psychological influences. Neuropsychological, neurophysiologic (electroencephalography) and biochemical study showed mild neurological disturbances, some peculiarities of motor and emotional spheres and higher mental functions. Moreover, there were such biochemical alterations as a decrease of magnesium level in the plasma and erythrocytes and a reduction of Mg(2+)-ATPase activity. The use of MAGNE-B6 allowed us to correct many of the disturbances.

Nogovitsina OR, Levitina EV.

MAGNE-B6 was used for the therapy of a group of 31 children aged from 6 to 12 with attention deficiency and hyperactivity syndrome. The control group included 20 children with similar manifestations of the same pathology, which received a polyvitamin complex. The efficacy of therapy was assessed in the 30th day with the aid of a complex clinical-neuropsychological and biochemical investigations. It was established that the administration of MAGNE-B6 led to improvements in the behavior, decreased the level of anxiety and aggression, improved both large- and small-scale mobility, decreased the level of synkinesis, increased the characteristics of attention, corrected the magnesium homeostasis, and favored normalization of the blood electrolytes. Reliable differences (p < 0.01 or 0.001) between the test and control groups in the degree of expression of the indicated disorders were observed.
