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 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.
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 non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it can improve ADHD symptoms in adults. It involves wearing a small device that delivers a gentle electrical current to the scalp during sessions, which may help with attention and focus.
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 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.
