Forehead patch may tame ADHD in autistic kids
NCT ID NCT07214545
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a device worn on the forehead during sleep to see if it can reduce ADHD symptoms in children with autism. About 60 children will use the device nightly for 8-12 weeks. Half will start with a real device and half with a fake one; later, those who got the fake one can try the real one. The goal is to find a safe, non-drug option to help with attention and hyperactivity.
