New brain stimulation study for children with tic disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation method for children aged 5 to 18 with tic disorders who haven't been treated before. It aims to see if this new approach can help reduce tics safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your child is between 5 and 18 years old.
- Your child has been diagnosed with a tic disorder (like Tourette's) and has a normal brain wave test (EEG).
- Your child has never received any treatment for tics before.
- Your child has a full-scale IQ of 70 or above on a standard intelligence test.
- Your child does not have metal implants in the body and is right-handed.

This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial temporal interference stimulation (a safe electrical method applied to the scalp) to help improve symptoms in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The goal is to see if this treatment can help with social communication, behavior, and other autism-related challenges.
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 study tests a gentle electrical stimulation on the ear to see if it helps reduce tics (sudden, repeated movements or sounds) in children and teens with chronic tic disorders, including Tourette syndrome. It may offer a non-drug option for managing symptoms.
This study tests a noninvasive brain treatment called TMS to see if it can reduce tics in people with Tourette's syndrome or chronic tic disorder. It might help if standard medications haven't worked well enough.
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 a behavioral therapy (CBIT) for children with tics. It uses brain scans (MRI and EEG) to see how the therapy works. It may be a good fit for a child who has had tics for at least a year and hasn't had much of this therapy before.
