Brain stimulation study for ADHD and autism
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses gentle magnetic pulses to test brain activity and see if it can help young people with ADHD or autism. It aims to understand brain differences and find new ways to improve symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 6 and 19 years old.
- You have a diagnosis of ADHD or autism (confirmed by a doctor).
- Your IQ is 70 or above.
- If you take medicine, it has been the same dose for at least 4 weeks.
- You do not have epilepsy or a history of seizures.
- You do not have metal in your body that could interfere with the magnetic pulses.

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 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 trial tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation method called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and tolerable for this age group.
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 a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to see if it can help teenagers with autism better understand social cues. It uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate parts of the brain involved in social perception.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help adults with autism. It's a safe procedure that uses magnetic pulses to gently activate a part of the brain.
