Brain stimulation study for adults with autism
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 40 years old
- Be able to take part in EEG and eye-tracking tasks
- Have no serious head injury or major brain illness
- Not have uncontrolled major mental health problems that stop you from finishing study tasks
- Not have a history of stroke, seizures, or seizure-like brain findings on EEG
- Not be pregnant (or at risk of pregnancy) and be able to do a pregnancy test if needed

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 (TMS) over the temporoparietal junction can improve a social thinking skill called 'mentalizing' in adults with autism. You would have MRI scans, cognitive tasks, and several TMS sessions.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help adults with autism. It's a safe procedure that uses magnetic pulses to gently activate a part of the brain.
This trial tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation method called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and tolerable for this age group.
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. It’s designed for people with autism who have high levels of certain repetitive behaviors, like insistence on sameness or unusual interests.
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.
