Aim: to study the drug effect (Kidz syrup with choline — based on choline, carnitine, and coenzyme Q10) on the symptom relief of physical and mental asthenia and on the autonomic nervous system reactivity restoration in pupils in the setting of somatic distress.
Patients and Methods: study included 50 children aged 7 to 14 years with a confirmed asthenic syndrome by the history, clinical examination and test results. Median age was 11.5 years, the gender ratio: m/f = 1.38/1. Participants were randomly divided into two groups: the main (group I) and the control (group II). Age-sex distribution by groups was equal. Group I received the drug Kidz syrup with choline in addition to the standard treatment, group II — etiopathogenetic therapy that did not include the use of this drug.
Results: the total result on all five scales showed a decrease in the average value from 55 points (at the beginning of treatment) to 47.4 points after treatment (p <0.03) during the MFI-20 test in the main group. The particularly evident effect was found within general asthenia scales (p <0.05) and physical asthenia scales (p <0.07). Total asthenia index did not change significantly before and after treatment, having decreased by only 3 points (from 56 to 53 points), according to MFI-20 in the control group.
Conclusion: the drug had a significant positive effect in most of the observed students. All conducted psychological testings revealed improvement in the group receiving the studied drug. The improvement significantly differed from that of the control group. Decrease in the quantitative characteristics of asthenic manifestations was established due to the inclusion of Kidz syrup with choline in the treatment regimen for school-age children in comparison with the control group.

Keywords: asthenia, autonomic nervous system, carnitine, coenzyme Q10, choline, pupils.
