Recruiting studies
- NCT06081348RecruitingPhase 2
Sertraline vs. placebo for anxiety in kids with developmental disorders
This trial compares sertraline (a common antidepressant) to a placebo (a pill with no medicine) to see which better reduces anxiety in children and teens who also have a neurodevelopmental disorder like autism, ADHD, or Tourette's. The goal is to help you and your child understand if this treatment might offer relief from anxiety.

Screening for developmental disorders in children with heart disease
This study is looking for children aged 1 to 5 years who have congenital heart disease and had heart surgery or a procedure in their first year. A special nurse will check for early signs of developmental delays, to see if this kind of screening is helpful for these children.
MontpellierAges 1–5 - NCT06622395Recruiting
Video autism evaluation for young children
This study tests whether autism evaluations can be done through video calls (telepsychiatry) for young children. If you're already scheduled for an autism assessment, your child may be able to do part of it from home, which could be more convenient and less stressful.

This study focuses on adults who were diagnosed with a neurodevelopmental disorder after turning 18. It aims to better understand their experiences and needs.
BronAges 18–55 - NCT07377032RecruitingPhase 3
L-serine for GRIN-related neurodevelopmental disorders
This trial tests whether an amino acid supplement called L-serine can help people with GRIN-related neurodevelopmental disorders. These disorders are caused by specific genetic changes that affect brain function, and the study aims to see if L-serine can improve symptoms.

Feeding study for children with developmental disorders
This study is testing a feeding intervention for children aged 2 to 7 with feeding disorders and neurodevelopmental disorders like autism. It aims to help improve their eating habits.
Roma, RMAges 2–7 - NCT07439276Recruiting
Social thinking in kids with neurodevelopmental disorders
This study looks at how children and teens with autism or ADHD understand social situations. It uses games and tasks to measure social thinking skills, which may help doctors better support these kids.
ParisAges 8–16 - NCT07542977Recruiting
Brain Sensory Response Study in Children and Adults
This research study measures how your brain and nervous system respond to sensory experiences like sounds and lights. Researchers want to understand these responses in people with and without neurodevelopmental conditions (like autism or ADHD) to learn more about how sensory processing differs.
ToursAges 6–45 - NCT07521371Enrolling by invitation
Intranasal Insulin for Autism in Children and Young Adults
This study observes how intranasal insulin (a form of insulin delivered through the nose) affects children and young adults with autism spectrum disorder who are already using or planning to use it as part of their regular care. Researchers will track changes in behavior and social skills over about 6 months.
Spring, TexasAges 4–21 - NCT03222375Recruiting
Home treatment for autism using special sound and imaging devices
This trial studies a home-based treatment for autism (or related conditions) using specially designed sound, image, and electromagnetic devices. It aims to see whether this personalized “treatment code” and device approach can improve autism-related skills and behaviors.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 1 month–21 years - NCT01778504Recruiting
Study of childhood behavioral and psychiatric disorders
This study looks at brain, behavior, and genetic factors in people with neuropsychiatric or developmental disorders, as well as their biological relatives. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and find new ways to diagnose or treat them.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4 weeks–99 years - 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 - NCT06086951Recruiting
Chatbot-based therapy for caregivers of children with special needs
This trial tests an AI-powered chatbot that delivers Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help Cantonese-speaking caregivers in Hong Kong manage stress and improve their parenting skills. It is designed for caregivers who live with a child aged 2–8 with autism, ADHD, or developmental delay.
Hong KongAges 19 years+ - NCT06690151Recruiting
Babies with heart defects and development support
This study looks at how a serious heart condition before birth may affect a baby's brain development. It follows babies and their parents to better understand and support these children as they grow.
Nantes, Loire AtlantiqueAges Any age - NCT06851377Recruiting
Precision genome study for undiagnosed genetic conditions
This study uses a new, high-resolution genome mapping technique to find genetic causes that standard tests might miss. It may help you if you have symptoms of a known genetic syndrome but standard testing came back negative or unclear.
Bosisio Parini, LeccoAges 2 years+ - NCT07596147Recruiting
Early Movement Training for At-Risk Infants
This trial tests an early intervention program called SAFE for babies aged 3–12 months who had complications at birth or were born prematurely. The goal is to help their brain and movement development through specialized therapy.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 3 months–1 year - NCT07667023Enrolling by invitation
Virtual reality for kids' dental anxiety
This trial tests whether using a virtual reality headset can help reduce anxiety in children during dental treatment. It may be a good option if your child is nervous about the dentist.
BudapestAges 6–12 - NCT06327906Recruiting
Infant allergy and brain development study in China
This study follows infants in the Jinan area of Shandong, China, who have signs of allergies, to see how allergies might relate to brain development. It aims to help understand early links between allergies and conditions like autism or ADHD.
Jinan, ShandongAges 1 minute–1 month - NCT06194162Recruiting
Weighted blankets for better sleep in kids with ADHD
This trial tests if weighted blankets can help children with ADHD who still have trouble sleeping after trying standard sleep tips. The study looks at whether these special blankets improve sleep and daily life.
FrederiksbergAges 5–12 - NCT07008612Recruiting
Study of MYT1L syndrome in children and adults
