Manual therapy for kids with ADHD
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if manual therapy (a type of hands-on body treatment) can help children with ADHD. It looks at whether adding this therapy to usual care improves symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has been diagnosed with ADHD by a doctor using the standard criteria (DSM-5).
- Your child is between 6 and 12 years old.
- You can bring your child to all manual therapy sessions.
- You (as guardian) must sign a consent form agreeing to the study.
- Your child has no other serious brain or nerve disorders like epilepsy, severe autism, or schizophrenia.
- Your child does not have fractures, severe scoliosis, or connective tissue diseases that would make manual therapy unsafe.

This trial tests a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) to see if it can improve ADHD symptoms in adults. It is a non-invasive treatment that uses a weak electrical current passed through electrodes on the scalp—no surgery or needles involved.
This study tests a painless light therapy called transcranial photobiomodulation, combined with other treatments, to see if it helps children with ADHD. If you are between 6 and 18, have only ADHD (no other conditions), and are not currently on other ADHD treatments, you may qualify.
This study looks for alternatives to standard treatment for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It may help by testing a different approach for people who meet specific age, language, and health requirements.
This trial tests a home-based training program to help children with ADHD symptoms improve focus and self-control. It might be an option if your child shows signs of inattention or hyperactivity and your family can commit to completing the program.
This study tests whether a digital therapy program done at home can help children with ADHD improve focus and attention. If it works, it could offer families a convenient treatment option without medication.
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.
