Podcast: Nerve Stimulation for ADHD?


ADHD 365 Podcast: Can ADHD Symptoms be Treated By Stimulating the Brain?
Featuring Max Wiznitzer, MD
Can ADHD symptoms be treated by stimulating portions of the brain while someone sleeps? A new external trigeminal nerve stimulation (eTNS) system approved by the US Food and Drug Administration offers that possibility. Some parents say they’re ready to sign up their child for testing.
Is it too soon for people managing ADHD symptoms through traditional approaches to jump from their current treatment regimen? We will hear from Dr. Max Wiznitzer, an associate professor of pediatrics, neurology, and international health at Case Western Reserve University, about the this new technology and the what parents and professionals hope it will provide.
