Light therapy for ADHD in adults
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests if a non-invasive light therapy called transcranial photobiomodulation can help adults with ADHD. It uses light to stimulate brain activity and may improve attention or focus.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests how non-invasive near-infrared light may affect brain function. You may be able to join if you’re an adult, since there are no other listed eligibility restrictions.
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 trial tests a light treatment on the head, called transcranial photobiomodulation, which may boost brain cell energy and improve memory and thinking. It could help people who want to sharpen their cognitive function.
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 tests if transcranial photobiomodulation (light therapy) can help children aged 6 to 18 with ADHD. It is for children who are not on other ADHD treatments.
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.
