NCT ID NCT07650643

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a simple, non-invasive brain test (EEG) can predict which of two common ADHD medications—methylphenidate or amphetamines—works best for a child. About 220 children aged 7-11 with ADHD will try both medicines in a random order over 7 weeks. The goal is to replace the current trial-and-error approach with a personalized treatment plan.
