Could bendy joints be a clue in ADHD?
NCT ID NCT07663383
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether children with ADHD are more likely to have very flexible joints (benign joint hypermobility) and if a certain blood marker differs. Researchers will compare 171 children aged 6 to 12—some with ADHD and some without—using physical exams and blood tests. The goal is to better understand any connection between connective tissue and brain development.
