This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This research study is testing a type of magnetic brain stimulation called intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) in teenagers ages 12–17 with ADHD. Researchers want to understand how this non-invasive brain stimulation affects the brain's ability to stop and control impulses — a skill that many people with ADHD find challenging. The study will measure changes in brain activity and behavior before and after the treatment.
Current ADHD treatments like medication don't work equally well for everyone, and some teenagers can't tolerate them. This trial is exploring whether magnetic brain stimulation could be a new way to help improve focus and impulse control by directly stimulating the areas of the brain involved in these skills.

You would attend two in-person visits about one week apart at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. At the first visit, you'll have an MRI scan and cognitive testing. At the second visit, researchers will measure your brain activity, you'll complete a computer task while wearing electrodes, then receive two sessions of magnetic brain stimulation — one may be real and one may be placebo (sham). Afterward, your brain activity and task performance will be measured again. One week later, you'll have a brief virtual visit to check for any side effects.
