Brain stimulation for adult ADHD
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it can improve ADHD symptoms in adults. It involves wearing a small device that delivers a gentle electrical current to the scalp during sessions, which may help with attention and focus.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old
- You have been diagnosed with ADHD (combined or inattentive type) by a healthcare professional
- You are a patient at the Adult Neurodevelopmental Disorders Unit (STNDA)
- Your ADHD medication (if any) has been stable for at least 4 weeks and will not change during the trial
- You do not have certain other conditions like epilepsy, heart disease, or recent scalp wounds

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether combining mild electrical brain stimulation (called tDCS) with behavioral skills training can help adults with ADHD focus better and manage their symptoms. Researchers want to understand how this combination works and whether it could be a useful treatment option.
This study tests whether home-based low-level electrical stimulation of the brain (tDCS) can reduce attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms. If you qualify, you may be asked to complete assessments while receiving the treatment.
This Phase 3 study tests whether a non-painful brain stimulation method called tDCS can improve ADHD symptoms in children, and whether it helps over the long term. Your child may be able to join if they are 7–14 with a confirmed ADHD diagnosis and meet symptom and testing scores.
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can help children with ADHD improve their attention. If it works, it could offer a new non-medication option.
This trial tests whether repeated, brain-based stimulation (done through the scalp) can improve symptoms in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder, and whether a later “booster” session adds more benefit. It may help learn which stimulation schedule works best, especially when teens also have attention symptoms—but not epilepsy or mood/anxiety disorders.
This trial uses a non-invasive technique called deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) to treat ADHD. You will receive either high or low frequency paired stimulation to see if it helps improve symptoms.
