Accelerated iTBS Targeting of Working Memory Versus Inhibitory Control in Adolescent ADHD

Sponsor: Bradley Hospital

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The objective of this project is to examine the differential therapeutic effect of intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS; a type of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) to the left DLPFC versus right PreSMA in modulating working memory (WM) versus inhibitory control (IC) deficits. Fifty adolescents (12-18 years old) with parent-reported WM and IC deficits and diagnosed ADHD will be randomized to DLPFC or PreSMA targeted 3x-daily iTBS for a total of ten days (30 total sessions).

DEVICE

intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS)

Device: Stimulation will be delivered using a Nexstim NBT System 2 device. Motor Threshold: The iTBS pulse intensity will be set at 80% of resting motor threshold (MT). The iTBS protocol will administer 2-second trains with an 8-second inter-burst interval for 1800 pulses \[600 bursts\]), in 50 Hz bursts at 5 Hz (i.e., 200 ms intervals). Each session will last approximately nine minutes. As three sessions will be administered per day, there will be a 20-30 minutes break between each of the nine-minute iTBS sessions. Magnetic pulses will be delivered in an MRI neuro-navigated manner using a cooled figure-eight coil. The PreSMA target will be approximately defined based on MNI coordinates: 13, 18, 62. The left DLPFC target will be approximately defined based on MNI coordinates: -44, 28, 16.
