tES Modalities for the Treatment of ADHD
Sponsor: The National Brain Mapping Laboratory (NBML)
Summary
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.

Interventions
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.
