Current NIH Trials for ADHD

The NIH is currently sponsoring several ADHD-related clinical trials. Several are listed below. These are available at the NIH's clinical trials Web site at: http://www.nimh.nih.gov/studies/1add.cfm. Please refer often to these trials to ensure their timeliness and applicability to your patient⁴:

• Behavioral and MRI Studies of Motor Control in Children with ADHD and in Healthy Volunteers: Examines how the brain controls whether a person performs a motor act, such as pushing a button.
• Treatment of ADHD in Preschool and School-Age Children (PATS): Focuses on the treatment of ADHD in very young children.
• Study of ADHD Using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS): Studies normal children and those diagnosed with ADHD using TMS, a non-invasive technique that gives information about brain function.
