What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial is testing smartphone apps designed to help adults with ADHD. The apps aim to improve attention and other mental skills through brain-training exercises. Participants will use the apps at home for several weeks, with assessments conducted at different stages of the treatment period.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial requires stopping certain medications that affect attention, such as guanfacine, Strattera, Modafinil, Armodafinil, and Clonidine, due to the need for a long washout period (time without taking these medications). If you are on other medications that affect attention, you may need to stop them if they are on the Excluded Medications List.
