View original scientific description
This study aims to demonstrate the accuracy of the MT1 algorithm using the MindTension biometric sensor device as a diagnostic aid for healthcare providers in diagnosing ADHD in youth ages ≥ 6 to ≤17 years.
Interventions
DEVICE
MT1 Auditory startle response patterns analysis algorithm
Objective measurements of attention and inhibition.
DEVICE
T.O.V.A. Continuous Performance Test
Objective measurements of attention and inhibitory control.
Primary outcome measures
Overall Agreement Rate (OAR) - probability that the test will be normal and the condition is normal or positive and the condition is positive, out of all subjects.
Time frame: From the beginning of clinical assessment until the end of testing (approximately 1-2 days).
The outcome measure will be calculated by using the following formula: Over All Agreement = (True Positive + True Negative) / (True Positive + True Negative + False Positive + False Negative) X 100.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Parent provision of signed and dated informed consent form
- Child stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study
- Any gender, aged 6 to 17 years
- Stimulant naïve or willing to wash out of stimulant for 3 days (approximately 72 hours) prior to testing with biometric and performance devices (MindTension + TOVA)
- ADHD Group: Diagnosed with symptoms consistent with ADHD as determined by Mini Kid + an ADHD-RS score of 1.5SD above mean for age and sex
- Control group: No diagnosable disorder on the Mini kid, and an ADHD-RS score within 1SD of the mean for age and sex.
Exclusion criteria
- Current use of psychotropic medications that cannot be washed out in 3 days (approximately 72 hours)
- Known current seizure disorder (history of febrile seizure allowed).
- Presence of specific devices (e.g., cardiac pacemaker) that may interfere with the MindTension monitor
- IQ\<70 by clinician judgment
- Meeting FULL criteria for current PTSD, GAD, MDD, or any lifetime diagnosis of ASD, Bipolar disorder, or psychotic disorder that was, in the opinion of the investigator, correctly obtained. May have symptoms of anxiety or dysthymia/depression not meeting criteria for a full disorder, or disorders such as simple phobia
- Deaf or hearing impaired, since this will make it difficult to hear and respond to the auditory stimuli.
- Inability to complete the assessments.
- Any other concerns in the judgment of the PI.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
