Home electrical brain stimulation for ADHD symptoms
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether home-based low-level electrical stimulation of the brain (tDCS) can reduce attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms. If you qualify, you may be asked to complete assessments while receiving the treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have a current ADHD diagnosis, or you meet ADHD criteria based on DSM-5 symptoms.
- You have no known reasons you can’t safely use tDCS, such as epilepsy or certain implanted devices (like pacemakers or brain/nerve stimulators).
- You are not dependent on substances (other than tobacco).
- You can take part in the study testing and follow the home-treatment procedures.

This study tests whether a non-surgical brain stimulation called tDCS can improve “executive function,” which means skills like planning, focus, and decision-making. It is designed for people with several mental health and substance-use conditions, and it may help you if those skills are affected by your diagnosis.
This trial tests if a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (accelerated iTBS) can improve working memory or impulse control in adolescents with ADHD. It involves MRI scans and TMS sessions to see which thinking skill benefits most.
This study tests whether combining mild electrical brain stimulation (called tDCS) with behavioral skills training can help adults with ADHD focus better and manage their symptoms. Researchers want to understand how this combination works and whether it could be a useful treatment option.
This trial tests a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) to see if it can improve ADHD symptoms in adults. It is a non-invasive treatment that uses a weak electrical current passed through electrodes on the scalp—no surgery or needles involved.
This Phase 3 study tests whether a non-painful brain stimulation method called tDCS can improve ADHD symptoms in children, and whether it helps over the long term. Your child may be able to join if they are 7–14 with a confirmed ADHD diagnosis and meet symptom and testing scores.
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can help children with ADHD improve their attention. If it works, it could offer a new non-medication option.
