Trigeminal Nerve Stimulation for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: Cognitive and Electroencephalographic Predictors of Treatment Response

ObjectiveThe current study applies a precision medicine approach to trigeminal nerve simulation (TNS), a Food and Drug Administration-approved neuromodulation treatment for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), by testing secondary outcomes of cognitive and electroencephalographic [EEG] predictors of treatment response among subjects from the original randomized controlled trial.MethodChildren aged 8 to 12 years with ADHD, were randomized to 4 weeks of active or sham TNS treatment, after which the sham group crossed over into 4 weeks of open-label treatment. TNS treatment responders (RESP) had an ADHD Rating Scale (ADHD-RS) Total score reduction of≥25%, whereas nonresponders (NR) had&nbsp
