Stopped early This study
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.

Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looked at whether different types of exercise—like treadmill running, balance training, or a mix of balance and thinking tasks—could improve ADHD symptoms and brain function in college students. It planned to enroll 130 students with ADHD and compare them to healthy students. However, the study was terminated early, so we don't have final results on whether these exercises actually help.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
aerobic treadmill training, progressive balance training, cognitive-balance dual-task training
What this could lead to
If it had succeeded, this could point toward a non-drug exercise program to help college students manage ADHD symptoms and improve focus.
What could go wrong
The study was terminated before completion, so we don't have clear results. It was also small and early-stage, so any benefits are uncertain.
