Brain stimulation study for children with autism symptoms
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a noninvasive brain stimulation approach (through the scalp) to see if it can help children with autism spectrum disorder. Families may be asked about the child’s development, communication level, and medical history to make sure the treatment is safe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 4 and 17 years old
- Your child has a confirmed autism spectrum disorder diagnosis using ADOS-2
- Your child’s IQ score is at least 70
- Your child can use language with at least simple, spontaneous sentences
- Your child does not have any implanted devices like brain implants, metal implants, or a pacemaker
- Your child has not been diagnosed with epilepsy or had a brain injury

This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique (tDCS placed on the scalp) may help children and teens with autism. It will compare outcomes before and after the stimulation sessions to see if it is safe and potentially beneficial.
This trial tests if mild electrical stimulation applied to the head (tDCS) can help children with autism. Your child must be enrolled in ABA therapy and be off certain medications to join.
This trial tests whether mild brain stimulation (transcranial direct current stimulation or tDCS) over multiple sessions can improve thinking, behavior, and brain activity in adults with autism. It may help researchers learn if this safe, noninvasive treatment can support better daily functioning.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial temporal interference stimulation (a safe electrical method applied to the scalp) to help improve symptoms in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The goal is to see if this treatment can help with social communication, behavior, and other autism-related challenges.
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.
This study tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-surgical brain stimulation) can affect brain activity and learning in adults, including some autistic adults. You may also do EEG and eye-tracking tasks during the study.
