Brain stimulation for veterans with ADHD and impulsivity
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with ADHD, specifically the hyperactive-impulsive or combined type.
- You still have ADHD symptoms even though you have been on your current treatment for at least 6 weeks.
- You are a veteran and can attend all study visits.
- You are able to have an MRI scan safely, meaning you have no metal implants, pacemakers, or other non-MRI-safe devices in your body.
- You do not have certain mental health conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar I disorder, severe substance use disorder, or active suicidal thoughts.
- You are not pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding during the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study tests a personalized form of transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation that uses magnetic pulses) to see if it can help reduce PTSD symptoms in veterans. The treatment is tailored to each person's brain activity, which may make it more effective than standard approaches.
This early-stage study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (called iTBS) can reduce impulsivity and suicidal thoughts in Veterans who have had a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and recent suicidal thinking. If you qualify, you may be offered a monitored treatment plan and assessments for safety and symptom changes.
This trial tests whether a type of brain stimulation called iTBS (which uses magnetic pulses) added to a standard PTSD therapy (EMDR) helps reduce PTSD symptoms more than EMDR alone. It involves 16 weeks of treatment and requires some commitments like avoiding alcohol.
This study uses brain scans and a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to help reduce PTSD symptoms in veterans. You may be eligible if you have ongoing PTSD symptoms and are on stable medication.
This study tests a noninvasive brain stimulation method called iTBS to see if it can help people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). You would receive the treatment and be monitored for changes in your symptoms.
