NCT ID NCT07442058
First seen Mar 13, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 13 times
Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) can help veterans with ADHD improve their impulse control. Thirty-five veterans with ADHD will receive either real or sham iTBS sessions. The main goal is to see if the treatment is feasible and acceptable, with secondary measures looking at changes in impulsivity and quality of life.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Intermittent Theta-Burst Stimulation (iTBS), a form of transcranial magnetic stimulation
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-drug treatment option for ADHD in veterans, potentially reducing impulsivity and improving daily functioning.
What could go wrong
This is a very early feasibility study with only 35 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The treatment is still experimental and may not provide lasting benefits.
