First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study involves 136 children with ADHD who also have high levels of irritability or aggression. Researchers will measure tiny brain signals (called ERPs) while children do tasks, then see if those signals can predict which kids get the most benefit from stimulant medication. The goal is to find a way to personalize treatment and avoid unnecessary antipsychotic use.
