Transcranial direct-current stimulation and pediatric attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)-Findings from an interview ethics study with children, adolescents, and their parents
Copyright © 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved..
INTRODUCTION: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a brain stimulation technique for an alternative or complementary treatment for various neurological disorders, including pediatric ADHD. However, little is known about the experiences of participants undergoing tDCS treatments in clinical trials. Exploration of their views on the matter is an important contribution to the societal debate on ethical issues of tDCS, allowing for a responsible translation into clinical practice and timely identification of potential challenges.
METHODS: in-depth interviews study with children with ADHD undertaking tDCS and their parents (n=32).
RESULTS: Children reported overall good experiences with the stimulation, although they found participation in the clinical study very tiring and time consuming. Their responses to the actual effects of the stimulation were mixed. Parents were very keen for their children to participate in the study as they saw it as a promising and safe alternative to medication. Even though many of them understood the techniques, they often did not see the link between the (current) lack of side effects and an absence of longitudinal studies. Unlike children, interviewed parents were cautious about using tDCS for non-medical/enhancement purposes.
DISCUSSION: There is a need for more transparent information about the state of the art of tDCS, its function and what it actually might be able to offer. It is especially important in order to prevent unrealistic hopes and to make sure that future pediatric patients and their carers are more aware of the potential side-effects and long-term effects of tDCS.
