This study looks at whether adults with autism (without intellectual disability) experience central sensitization, a condition where the nervous system becomes overly sensitive to stimuli. It aims to understand how common this is and why it matters for treatment.
Grenoble, IsereAges 18 years+ - NCT07369960Recruiting
Brain stimulation and language training for children with language delay
This trial tests if combining repetitive magnetic stimulation (rTMS) with language exercises can help children with global developmental delay who have trouble speaking. It's for children aged 2 to 5 with a confirmed language delay, and no other major conditions like epilepsy or autism.
Jishou, HunanAges 2–5 - NCT07136636Recruiting
Speech development in kids treated for brain injury at birth
This study looks at how children who had a brain injury around birth (HIE) and received cooling therapy are developing speech. It may help families understand language outcomes after this treatment.
BudapestAges birth–7 years - NCT07036575Recruiting
Easy-to-Read Content Study for Kids with Learning Challenges
This study tests if easy-to-read materials help children with intellectual disabilities understand health information better. It may benefit kids who have trouble with regular reading materials.
TaipeiAges 3–17 - NCT06541782Recruiting
Creative arts therapy for children with intellectual disabilities
This study explores whether creative arts activities (like drawing, music, or dance) can help children with intellectual or developmental disabilities and their mothers feel closer and more connected. You and your child would take part in fun, creative sessions together.
HaifaAges 3–7 - NCT07746921Recruiting
Smart inhaler and remote asthma care for teens with intellectual disabilities
This study tests a smart inhaler and a phone app to help teenagers with mild-to-moderate intellectual or developmental disabilities manage their asthma at home. It aims to see if this technology improves asthma control and makes it easier for families to track medication use.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 10–17 - NCT06783101Recruiting
Smart Inhaler for Teens with Intellectual Disabilities and Asthma
This study tests a 'smart' inhaler that tracks when and how your child uses their asthma medicine. The goal is to help teens with intellectual or developmental disabilities manage asthma better at home.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 10–17 - NCT07625579Recruiting
Collaboration for Down Syndrome Progress Research Study
This research study aims to better understand Down syndrome by collecting health information, family history, and sometimes brain imaging or sleep data from children and adults with Down syndrome and their families. The goal is to advance knowledge that could improve health and development for people with Down syndrome.
Orange, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06937255Recruiting
Language and reading risk in monolingual and multilingual children
This study tests a new way to identify children who may have trouble learning to read or speak Italian. It helps compare children who speak only Italian with those who also speak another language at home.
Bosisio Parini, LCAges 4–9 - NCT06660108Recruiting
Genetic roots of language development and disorders
This study looks for genes linked to severe language disorders in children. It aims to understand why some children have lasting language difficulties despite therapy, which could lead to better treatments.
Corbeil-EssonnesAges 5 years+ - NCT05154799Recruiting
Study of developmental coordination disorder in children and adults
This study is looking at people with developmental coordination disorder (dyspraxia) using specific movement and coordination assessments. It may help researchers better understand the condition and how to measure it for future treatments or support.
Bron, Auvergne-Rhône-AlpesAges 9–40 - NCT05744479RecruitingPhase 4
Metformin to reduce weight gain from antipsychotic medicines
This trial tests whether metformin can help adults with intellectual disability who gained weight from long-term antipsychotic medicines. If you qualify, you may be assigned metformin to improve weight and related health measures.
Toronto, OntarioAges 16–65 - NCT04558541Recruiting
Speech and grammar training study for kids with language disorder
This study looks at how children with developmental language disorder understand and produce parts of speech, especially verb endings and grammar patterns. It may help researchers develop better ways to support communication in kids who struggle with language.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 4–8 - NCT07535801Recruiting
Understanding stress signals in autism spectrum disorder
This study measures how stress affects the body in children and young adults with autism who experience behavioral crises. Researchers will track physical stress markers to better understand and help manage these difficult moments.
NiceAges 3–22 - NCT06802094Recruiting
Balance and movement strategies in children with DCD
This study compares how children with and without Developmental Coordination Disorder (a condition affecting motor skills) move their bodies during balance tasks. Researchers will use special tests and motion sensors to see different movement patterns, which could help design better therapy for kids with balance or coordination challenges.
Diepenbeek, LimburgAges 7–12 - NCT06762678Recruiting
Studying genes in neurodevelopmental disorders with birth defects
This study is for children or adults with neurodevelopmental conditions and unusual physical features, where standard genetic tests haven't found a cause. Researchers will use RNA and DNA sequencing to look for hidden genetic explanations, which could guide better care.
AngersAges Any age - NCT06764810Recruiting
Motor skills and senses in children 4–11
This study looks at how motor skills (like catching, jumping) and sensory processing (how the brain handles sights, sounds, touch) are related in children with and without certain developmental differences. The goal is to better understand these connections to help support children's development.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for intellectual developmental disorder?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 42 recruiting intellectual developmental disorder studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a intellectual developmental 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.
- Does it cost anything to join a intellectual developmental disorder trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
