Brain stimulation therapy for children with ADHD
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method called iTBS to see if it can improve attention and behavior in children with ADHD. It may help children who haven't tried or don't respond well to medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
