Deep brain stimulation for ADHD treatment
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Men and women aged 21 to 65
- Diagnosed with ADHD according to standard criteria
- If taking ADHD medication, willing to switch to Ritalin IR (short-acting) and follow timing rules
- No other active psychiatric disorders (like depression or bipolar)
- No history of seizures, head injury, metal implants in head, or certain medical devices

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.
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 whether a special magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) can help children and teenagers with ADHD improve focus and behavior, without using extra 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.
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 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.
