Brain stimulation and motor learning in teens
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) can help teenagers learn motor skills more effectively. It aims to understand how this safe, painless method might enhance learning in typically developing adolescents.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Be between 10 and 17 years old
- Be able to follow simple instructions with two steps

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 changing brain activity can improve working memory in teens who have ADHD and trouble remembering and holding information in mind. You and your parent will answer questionnaires, and brain imaging/brain-stimulation testing (MRI/TMS) may be used, with compensation for each session.
This study tests how a mild electrical brain stimulation called tDCS might help healthy young adults learn new motor skills. You'll receive either active or sham tDCS while practicing a hand movement task over 4 weeks.
This study uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) to understand how the brain controls movement and learning. Researchers will measure changes in your brain's electrical activity while you play a video game, which may help them understand how the brain learns new motor skills.
This study tests if a type of brain stimulation called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve how well you learn a hand movement task. You will practice a motor task while receiving brief magnetic pulses to your scalp.
This study uses a reaching task and a brain stimulation method (TMS) to see which brain areas help sensory learning. It may help researchers understand how learning works in the brain and how to design better therapies, if needed.
