Brain stimulation and attention control in kids with ADHD
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 6 and 12 years old.
- Your child has a diagnosis of ADHD (any type).
- Your child has an IQ of 70 or higher.
- If your child takes ADHD medication, the dose has been stable for at least 4 weeks.
- Your child does not have epilepsy, seizures, or metal implants in the head (like braces) that would interfere with the stimulation.

This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method combined with sensory activities to help children with autism. The goal is to see if this approach can improve how they process sensory information.
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 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 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 Phase 3 study tests whether a non-painful brain stimulation method called tDCS can improve ADHD symptoms in children, and whether it helps over the long term. Your child may be able to join if they are 7–14 with a confirmed ADHD diagnosis and meet symptom and testing scores.
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.
