Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

This project investigates the efficacy of transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) modalities, specifically transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), for treating Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents.

DEVICE

transcranial electrical stimulation

Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique that applies low-intensity electrical currents to the scalp to modulate brain activity. It targets specific brain regions to influence neuronal excitability, connectivity, and plasticity, offering potential therapeutic benefits for neurological and psychiatric conditions. tES is portable, cost-effective, and generally well-tolerated, with minimal side effects such as mild tingling or itching at the stimulation site.
