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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You and a parent speak English well enough to understand the study

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.
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 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.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation, called iTBS, which uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate parts of the brain. It aims to improve focus and reduce impulsivity in veterans with ADHD who still have symptoms despite their current treatment.
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 faster version of a brain stimulation treatment called intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) for teenagers with depression. The treatment uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain and may help improve mood when medication alone isn't enough.
