This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial examined whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) could help improve attention, focus, and thinking skills in children and adolescents ages 6 to 18 who have ADHD. Researchers believed that this treatment might work by stimulating specific brain regions involved in attention and decision-making. The study tested whether the treatment produced real benefits beyond what a placebo (fake) stimulation would provide.
ADHD affects many children and adolescents and can make it harder to focus, control impulses, and remember information. Current treatments don't work equally well for everyone, so researchers wanted to explore whether this noninvasive brain stimulation approach could offer a new option to improve these core difficulties.
Participants received two sessions of brain stimulation separated by at least 2 days. In one session, they received active transcranial alternating current stimulation (gentle electrical stimulation applied to the scalp), and in the other session they received sham stimulation (fake stimulation that felt similar but wasn't active). Before and after each session, researchers measured attention and thinking abilities, recorded brain activity using EEG (a technique that reads electrical signals from the brain), and assessed ADHD symptoms. Neither the participants nor the researchers knew which session was real until the study ended, to ensure fair results.
