Brain stimulation study for teens with ADHD
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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 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.
This study tests whether changing brain activity can improve working memory in teens who have ADHD and trouble remembering and holding information in mind. You and your parent will answer questionnaires, and brain imaging/brain-stimulation testing (MRI/TMS) may be used, with compensation for each session.
