This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether acoustic noise (specially designed sounds) and vestibular stimulation (gentle movement-based input) can help children with ADHD focus better in school. Researchers want to see if these non-medication approaches work as well as, or better than, current treatments — and whether they could reduce the need for medication in some children.
Many children with ADHD take stimulant medication, but parents and doctors have concerns about long-term effects on the developing brain, potential for misuse, and whether the medication actually helps learning. This trial explores whether sound and movement-based treatments could offer a safer, drug-free alternative that works just as well.

If you join, you'll be randomly placed into one of five groups: some children will receive , others will receive sound or movement stimulation without medication, some will get both, and others will get placebo treatments. You'll complete tasks that test attention and memory while researchers monitor how you perform under different conditions — some with background noise, some without.
