Home-based Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) for Treatment of Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
This study is recruiting. It focuses on ADHD and currently lists participation information in the United States.
ADHDOtherFrom 18 Years to 65 Years
Key information made simple
This study is comparing 2 mA transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with Sham transcranial direct current stimulation for people with Attention Deficit Disorder or Attention Deficit Disorder With Hyperactivity. Participants receive 2 mA transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) or Sham transcranial direct current stimulation and complete study visits and assessments. Some participants may receive Sham transcranial direct current stimulation instead of the study treatment, and direct benefit is not guaranteed.
Your next step
The official record suggests in-person participation through a hospital, with sites including Massachusetts General Hospital in Charlestown. Participation appears to involve using a digital tool or support program and giving feedback through check-ins or assessments. The main fit is usually matching the main diagnosis, while common reasons not to take part include pregnancy or breastfeeding and active substance or alcohol problems that could affect the results. The official record does not list a formal phase, which usually means this is focused more on feasibility, delivery, or support than a standard drug-development stage.
