Just to set the record straight, I was interested in TMS specifically, I don’t have an interest in the drugstore head magnet apparatus.  Maybe this will help? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20521875

A total of 13 patients (seven males, six females) who fulfilled the criteria for adult ADHD, according to DSM-IV criteria gave informed consent and were enrolled. There was a specific beneficial effect on attention 10 minutes after a real rTMS course. The post-real rTMS attention score improved significantly (M=3.56, SD=0.39) compared to the pre-real rTMS attention score (M=3.31, SD=0.5) [t(12)=2.235, P < 0.05]. TMS had no effect on measures of mood and anxiety. The sham rTMS had no effect whatsoever.
