  • Title: Behavioral and cognitive effect of theophylline: a dose-response study.
    Author: Stein MA, Lerner CA.
    Journal: Ann Allergy; 1993 Feb; 70(2):135-40. PubMed ID: 8430921.
    Abstract:
    The behavioral and cognitive effects of theophylline were studied in 14 asymptomatic asthmatic children. A double-blind crossover design was used with two dosage levels. Conners parent ratings suggest behavioral improvement by the second week of treatment, regardless of dosage or order of administration. No effects were found on cognitive measures. We conclude that the majority of behavior problems associated with theophylline occur during the induction phase, and that for most children behavior and attention problems rapidly return to baseline or improve.
