简要总结

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of tDCS on inhibitory control and working memory in primary school-aged children with ADHD and comorbid ASD immediately after the intervention and 1-week post-intervention. The secondary objectives of the study include: 1. To compare the effect of tDCS on clinical symptoms of ADHD and ASD between the intervention group and control group at 1 week post-intervention. 2. To evaluate the safety profile of tDCS and describe any adverse events of tDCS in children with ADHD and comorbid ASD.
