Brain stimulation for repetitive behaviors in autism
This trial tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-surgical treatment using magnets on the scalp) can reduce restricted and repetitive behaviors seen in autism.

Stanford, CaliforniaAges 6–11 - NCT05829161Recruiting
Studying autism and typical brain/sensory patterns in people 12–40
This study looks at differences in “sensory” (how you experience sounds, touch, and other sensations) between people with autism and people without autism. The results may help researchers understand autism better and improve support in the future.
TaipeiAges 1.5 years+ - NCT05419895Recruiting
Early autism screening follow-up after a high-risk test score
This study looks at an “early diagnostic response” approach for toddlers who screen high-risk for autism. It aims to help families get timely follow-up and evaluation based on screening results.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 1.3 years–3 years - NCT05874466Recruiting
Screening app for autism signs in young children
This study tests whether a tablet/computer app can reliably spot early autism signs in toddlers. If it works well, it could help families and clinicians screen sooner and more accurately.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 1.3 years–3 years - NCT06792175Enrolling by invitation
Using speech to detect mental health conditions
This study uses a computer program to listen to your speech and see if it can help detect mental health or neurodevelopmental conditions. It may help find new ways to diagnose conditions like ADHD, anxiety, depression, and others earlier.
Brookline, MassachusettsAges 13–60 - NCT05171244Recruiting
Virtual reality training for kids with autism
This study tests whether immersive virtual reality (VR) training can improve how children with autism process different sensory information (like sights and sounds). It will compare children who do the VR training with another group as part of a pilot study at a child psychiatry center.
Tours, ToursAges 8–16 - NCT06909279Recruiting
Training for caregivers of children with social communication delays
This trial tests a 13-week virtual training program for caregivers of young children with social communication delays. It aims to help parents support their child's communication and play skills through online group sessions.
London, OntarioAges Up to 3.9 years - NCT04244721Recruiting
Parent training program for children with autism
This trial tests whether a parent-led program (with PACT) can improve autism-related symptoms in children. It focuses on giving parents structured support, and it compares outcomes after families complete the program.
BronAges 1.5 years–3 years - NCT07420478Recruiting
TF-CBT for autistic youth with trauma
This trial tests trauma-focused therapy for autistic youth who have experienced trauma. It aims to see if this therapy helps reduce trauma-related distress.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 6 years+ - NCT05396352Recruiting
Study brain-task skills in autism using brain stimulation
This study looks at how different brain regions work in people with autism and in neurotypical adults using thinking tasks, MRI scans, and a noninvasive brain stimulation called tDCS. It may help researchers better understand social and executive thinking—how you plan and manage tasks.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–35 - NCT03492060Recruiting
Study of genetic variants in neurogenetic disorders over time
This study looks at how people’s genetic test results relate to health changes over time in conditions caused by gene differences. If you already have genetic confirmation of a disease-causing variant, you may be able to join.
New York, New YorkAges Any age - NCT07243561RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Exosome therapy for childhood autism study
This trial tests if exosomes from stem cells can help children with autism who haven't improved enough with standard behavioral therapy. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective for reducing autism symptoms.
Dongfang, HainanAges 3–7 - NCT05726708Recruiting
E-learning coaching for parents of young children with autism

- How do I know if I qualify for a autism disorder trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
