Brain wave patterns to predict ADHD medication response
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses brain scans (EEG) to understand which children with ADHD will respond well to stimulant medications. The goal is to help doctors choose the right treatment faster by looking at brain activity patterns before starting medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 7 and 10 years old
- Your child has been diagnosed with ADHD or is being evaluated for it
- Your child has never taken stimulant ADHD medication, or tried it for less than 6 months without good results
- Your child's ADHD symptoms are moderate to severe (per doctor assessment)
- Your child has not taken ADHD or psychiatric medications in the past week
- Your child is willing to complete study visits and brain scans

This study looks at how stimulant medications and small movements during an fMRI brain scan affect attention in teens and adults with ADHD. You will be asked to do a computer task while in the scanner, and the results may help improve ADHD treatments.
This study compares stimulant and non-stimulant ADHD medicines in kids who have not taken ADHD medication before. It also studies how these treatments affect brain “reward” processes, which may be linked to substance-use risk.
This Phase 4 study looks at how to manage ADHD symptoms in children and teens who also have autism. It may help your child’s care team learn what treatment routines work best in real life settings.
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 if a mixed amphetamine medication helps teenagers with both autism and ADHD who still have significant symptoms, even if they are already on other treatments. It also includes typically developing teens as a comparison group.
This study looks at how the brain's electrical activity may predict whether a child with ADHD will respond well to methylphenidate (Ritalin). It aims to find biological markers that could help doctors choose the right treatment sooner.
