Teen ADHD

TMS for Teen ADHD

Teenage years are a critical period for social, emotional, and academic development. For teens with ADHD, these years can be particularly challenging. The symptoms of ADHD, such as inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity, can significantly impact their ability to succeed in school, form healthy relationships, and navigate the complexities of adolescence.



Why TMS for Teen ADHD?

How TMS Offers a New Hope
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is emerging as a promising intervention for teens struggling with ADHD. This innovative approach involves the use of magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain, specifically targeting areas involved in attention and impulse control.


Benefits of TMS for Teen ADHD

  • Tailored Treatment: TMS can be customized to address the specific neural pathways affected in ADHD, potentially offering more targeted relief than traditional treatments.
  • Non-Pharmacological Option: For teens and their families concerned about the long-term use of medications, TMS provides a drug-free alternative, reducing the risk of side effects associated with ADHD medications.
  • Supports Brain Development: During the teenage years, the brain is still developing. TMS may support healthier neural development by improving neural connectivity and function in areas affected by ADHD.
  • Complements Existing Therapies: TMS can be integrated with other treatment modalities, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and educational support, offering a holistic approach to managing ADHD symptoms.
  • Potential for Long-Term Improvement: Preliminary studies suggest that the benefits of TMS may extend beyond the treatment period, offering lasting improvements in attention, behavior, and overall functioning.

What patients are saying

"Desperate and struggling, my therapist recommended TMS. With an open mind and cautious optimism, I tried it. In just five days, my anxiety improved significantly. The clinic staff was fantastic, offering counseling and education on anxiety. The whole experience, including aftercare and follow-up, made a huge difference. I wholeheartedly recommend Accelerated TMS at Kind Health Group. Thank you, Dr. Nanos, and your amazing team"

Abstract Summary: This narrative review explores the efficacy, safety, and feasibility of using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in the treatment of adolescent ADHD. The review found objective improvements in ADHD treatment outcomes in adolescent patients who participated in a randomized, sham-controlled, crossover pilot study assessing the safety and efficacy of TMS. No major adverse events were reported, supporting the safety of TMS.

The therapeutic role of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder in Egypt a randomized sham controlled clinical trial. Middle East Current Psychiatry, 29, 36. https://doi.org/10.1186/s43045-022-00210-3

Abstract Summary: This study assessed the therapeutic role of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in children with ADHD in Egypt. The study included 60 children with ADHD, with 30 receiving rTMS combined with Atomoxetine and 30 receiving sham rTMS and Atomoxetine. The study found significant improvement in ADHD symptoms in the rTMS group compared to the sham group, suggesting that rTMS is an efficacious intervention for treating ADHD, and combined rTMS and Atomoxetine is superior to Atomoxetine alone in improving attention deficit symptoms and total ADHD symptoms severity.
