rTMS therapy to help children manage autism-related self-control
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests a brain-stimulation treatment (rTMS) to improve self-regulation—like calming down and managing impulses—in children with autism. It may help if your child struggles with self-control and can safely have this kind of treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
- Your child also has problems with self-regulation (self-control, calming, managing impulses).
- Your child can take part in rTMS sessions (brain stimulation).
- There is no history of seizures (or a family history of seizures) for your child.
- Your child does not have metal implants or other reasons that would make rTMS unsafe.
- Your child does not have other major brain or nervous system conditions (like epilepsy or stroke).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a type of brain stimulation called rTMS can improve motor skills (like coordination and movement) in autistic adults. If you have autism and notice challenges with motor function, this study may help.
This study tests if gentle brain stimulation (called tDCS), given at home, can help children with autism who have trouble with self-control or social communication. The goal is to see if it improves behavior and social skills.
This trial uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) to see if it can help children with autism or ADHD. The goal is to find out if this treatment can improve symptoms and is safe for this age group.
This trial tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (called rTMS) is well-tolerated in children and teens with autism. rTMS uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate parts of the brain, and this study wants to see if it can be given safely to young people with autism.
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can safely and effectively treat major depression in adults who also have autism spectrum disorder. rTMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific brain areas without surgery.
This trial tests a type of brain stimulation called theta burst stimulation to see if it helps people with autism who have limited verbal skills or intellectual disability manage their emotions better. It may offer a new way to support emotional well-being.
