TMS therapy for ADHD in teens
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if a type of brain stimulation called TMS can help teenagers with ADHD control their impulses better. The treatment targets a part of the brain that helps with stopping or changing actions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 12 and 17 years old.
- You must have been diagnosed with ADHD.
- If you take stimulant medication for ADHD, you must be willing to stop it for 24 hours before and during TMS treatment days.
- You cannot have any medical devices implanted in your body (like a pacemaker or cochlear implant).
- You cannot have any metal in your head or a history of seizures, brain injury, or hearing problems.
- You cannot have certain other mental health conditions like severe depression, bipolar disorder, or a psychotic disorder.

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.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) can help teens with moderate to severe depression feel better. It involves wearing a special magnetic coil on the head during several sessions.
This trial tests a new brain stimulation method (iTBS) targeting two areas of the brain to help teens with ADHD who haven't improved enough with medication. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective.
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 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 a type of brain stimulation called TMS can help people with schizophrenia improve their ability to stop impulsive actions. By targeting the part of the brain that controls inhibition, researchers hope to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
