Brain stimulation study for ADHD and autism
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 6 to 19 years old
- Diagnosis of autism or ADHD by standard criteria
- IQ of 70 or higher
- Medications must be stable for at least 4 weeks
- No history of seizures or epilepsy
- No metal implants or devices that could interfere with TMS

This trial uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) to see if it can help children with autism or ADHD. The goal is to find out if this treatment can improve symptoms and is safe for this age group.
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 whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-surgical treatment using magnets on the scalp) can reduce restricted and repetitive behaviors seen in autism. It’s designed for people with autism who have high levels of certain repetitive behaviors, like insistence on sameness or unusual interests.
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.
This study tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-surgical brain stimulation) can affect brain activity and learning in adults, including some autistic adults. You may also do EEG and eye-tracking tasks during the study.
This trial tests whether a type of brain stimulation called rTMS can improve motor skills (like coordination and movement) in autistic adults. If you have autism and notice challenges with motor function, this study may help.
