Summary

This trial will use Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to study how stimulating a specific area in the brain, the pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA), affects inhibitory control

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children aged 12-17 with ADHD. Participants can be on stimulants, but must stop them 24 hours before and during TMS visits.
What is being tested?
The study tests if Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) targeting the pre-SMA brain area affects self-control in ADHD patients. It compares active TMS to a sham (fake) treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
TMS may cause discomfort at the stimulation site, headache, lightheadedness, or seizures in very rare cases.
