Home-based Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) for Treatment of Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Sponsor: Massachusetts General Hospital
Summary
The investigators are investigating whether home-based tDCS over the course of four weeks can improve ADHD symptom severity and improve dysexecutive functioning (cognitive control). Further, the investigators are investigating whether there is a dose-dependent response to tDCS.

Interventions
2 mA transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)
tDCS is a non-invasive neuromodulatory technique that has previously demonstrated the ability to transiently modulate cognitive domains in both healthy and psychiatric populations. In the 2mA condition, the investigators will assist the administration of a 2mA current stimulation from the device.
1 mA transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)
tDCS is a non-invasive neuromodulatory technique that has previously demonstrated the ability to transiently modulate cognitive domains in both healthy and psychiatric populations. In the 1mA condition, the investigators will assist the administration of a 1mA current stimulation from the device.
Sham transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)
tDCS is a non-invasive neuromodulatory technique that has previously demonstrated the ability to transiently modulate cognitive domains in both healthy and psychiatric populations. In the sham condition, the investigators will assist the administration of a sham stimulation from the device.
