Repetitive TMS therapy for children with autism or ADHD
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) to see if it can help children with autism or ADHD. The goal is to find out if this treatment can improve symptoms and is safe for this age group.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Diagnosed with autism (ASD) or ADHD by a doctor using the DSM-5 criteria.
- Age 7 or older (children under 6 may not be able to cooperate enough).
- No serious brain or genetic conditions (like brain tumors, fragile X syndrome, or tuberous sclerosis).
- No epilepsy, seizures, or history of repeated febrile seizures.
- No psychoactive medications started or changed within the last 4 weeks.
- No hearing or vision problems, and no active infections or inflammation.

This trial uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS to study brain activity in children and teens with ADHD or autism. It may help researchers understand how to improve symptoms.
This trial tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (called rTMS) is well-tolerated in children and teens with autism. rTMS uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate parts of the brain, and this study wants to see if it can be given safely to young people with autism.
This trial tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-surgical treatment using magnets on the scalp) can reduce restricted and repetitive behaviors seen in autism. It’s designed for people with autism who have high levels of certain repetitive behaviors, like insistence on sameness or unusual interests.
This trial tests whether a special magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) can help children and teenagers with ADHD improve focus and behavior, without using extra medication.
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can safely and effectively treat major depression in adults who also have autism spectrum disorder. rTMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific brain areas without surgery.
This trial uses a non-invasive technique called deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) to treat ADHD. You will receive either high or low frequency paired stimulation to see if it helps improve symptoms.
