ADHD PreSMA Response Inhibition Therapy
Sponsor: Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati
Summary
ADHD children have abnormal inhibitory control, meaning they have trouble stopping themselves from doing something they should not do. This ability to control involves an area in the brain called the pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA). Scientists have previously shown that the pre-SMA is abnormal in ADHD patients. In this study, we will use Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to stimulate the pre-SMA and determine the effects on measures that are related to inhibitory control.

Interventions
Active repetitive TMS
In this study, ADHD children will receive two trains of intermittent theta burst stimulation. Intermittent theta burst stimulation is a form of repetitive TMS. Both iTBS trains will be active stimulation using the active TMS coil.
Sham repetitive TMS
In this study, ADHD children will receive two trains of intermittent theta burst stimulation. Intermittent theta burst stimulation is a form of repetitive TMS. The first iTBS train will be sham stimulation using the sham TMS coil. The second iTBS train will be active stimulation using the active TMS coil.
