Brain stimulation for ADHD in children and teens
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (called rTMS) to see if it can help reduce ADHD symptoms in children and adolescents. It may offer an additional treatment option beyond medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must have an ADHD diagnosis according to standard medical guidelines.

This study uses gentle magnetic pulses to test brain activity and see if it can help young people with ADHD or autism. It aims to understand brain differences and find new ways to improve symptoms.
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 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 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.
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 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.
