Help Us Understand the ADHD Brain
Studies Are Seeking Participants
Research teams at Bradley Hospital are seeking teenagers between the ages of 13 and 18 with ADHD, as well as healthy adults (without ADHD or other medical/mental health concerns) between the ages of 18 and 25, to help us achieve our long-term goal to develop brain-based treatments for teens with ADHD.
Participants in either study may help us develop treatments for teens who have ADHD in the future, and will be compensated for their participation.
Clinical Trial of Brain Stimulation For ADHD
- What is this study about? We are investigating whether magnetic brain stimulation can change dysfunctional brain dynamics and, subsequently, improve ADHD clinical symptoms in teenagers.
- Why participate? Your child may experience a temporary improvement in ADHD-related symptoms.
- Participant must be able to attend 24 study visits that involve brain imaging, brain stimulation, and cognitive tasks.
Study to Better Understand the ADHD Brain
- What is this about study about? We are investigating the brain regions involved in ADHD-related attentional problems and whether magnetic brain stimulation can change dysfunctional brain dynamics.
- Why participate? Your child may contribute valuable information on the neuroscience of ADHD.
- Participant must be able to attend four (4) study visits that involve brain imaging, brain stimulation, and cognitive tasks.
Participants in either study may help us develop treatments for teens who have ADHD in the future, and will be compensated for their participation.
Who's Eligible?
Your teenager may be eligible for either study if he or she:
- Is 13 to 18 years old
- Has been diagnosed with ADHD
- Experiences ongoing difficulties with attention or memory
- Speaks English
- Does not have medical conditions contraindicated for brain stimulation
Now Recruiting Healthy Adults
We are also recruiting healthy adults, ages 18 to 25 years old (without ADHD or other medical/mental health conditions). If you are interested in being a part of study to help understand the brain, please contact us.
