Brain Stimulation for ADHD in Children
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
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 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.
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.
