Description
K Rubia and co-authors ask whether brain-based therapies work for ADHD in 2026. Stimulant drugs work well but bring side effects and poor adherence. Many families prefer non-drug options for children.
Three decades of brain scans show set activation differences in ADHD. The team ran randomized trials of methods that target those differences. Methods included fMRI neurofeedback and direct current stimulation. Children and teens took part in the trials. Behavior and thinking outcomes were measured after training. Readers get a verdict from trial data on a popular but contested treatment family.
