Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neuropsychiatric disorder, which affects children as well as adults and leads to significant impairment in educational, social and occupational functioning and has associated personal and societal costs. Whilst there are effective medications (mostly stimulants) as well as some psychobehavioural treatments that help alleviate symptoms of ADHD, there is still need to improve our understanding of its neurobiology as well as explore other treatment options. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) are safe and non-invasive investigative and therapeutic tools respectively. In this short article, I will explore their potential for improving our understanding of the neurobiology of ADHD as well consider its as a possible treatment option.
注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）是一种常见的神经精神疾病，影响儿童和成人，导致教育、社交和职业功能严重受损，并产生相关的个人和社会成本。虽然有有效的药物（主要是兴奋剂）以及一些心理行为治疗方法有助于缓解ADHD的症状，但仍需要加深我们对其神经生物学的理解，并探索其他治疗选择。经颅磁刺激（TMS）和重复经颅磁刺激（rTMS）分别是安全且非侵入性的研究和治疗工具。在这篇短文中，我将探讨它们在增进我们对ADHD神经生物学理解方面的潜力，并将其视为一种可能的治疗选择。
