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.

EEG monitoring after early heart surgery in infants
This study looks at whether early brain-wave testing (EEG) around the time of heart surgery in very young babies can predict later learning and development issues. It may help doctors identify children who need extra support sooner.
Lille, Hauts-de-FranceAges 1 day–1 year - NCT05681923Recruiting
Pregnancy study tracking how brain development risk may run in families
This study follows pregnant parents and their child to understand what factors influence early brain and development. It compares families with an autistic sibling (higher risk) to families without (lower risk) to spot patterns that may help future care.

COPCA Therapy for Infants at Risk of Developmental Delays
This study is testing a new way of doing physical therapy (called COPCA) for babies who are at risk of developmental delays. The goal is to see if it helps them reach milestones better than standard care.
Seville, SevilleAges Up to 1 year - 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 - NCT07493096Recruiting
Intensive therapy program for children with brain-based conditions
This trial tests an intensive therapy program designed to help children with brain-based conditions like cerebral palsy or autism improve their skills in movement, thinking, and daily activities. The program runs for 2 weeks with daily sessions, and researchers will check for changes in your child's abilities.
The Woodlands, TexasAges 4–12 - 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

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.
LyonAges 2–30 - NCT07224581RecruitingPhase 3

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neurodevelopmental disorders?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 105 recruiting neurodevelopmental disorders 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 neurodevelopmental disorders 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 neurodevelopmental disorders 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.
