Brain wave study for language development in children with autism
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at brain wave patterns in young children with autism to see if they can help predict how their language will develop. It aims to find early clues that could guide therapy and support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 3 and 4 and a half years old.
- Your child must have a diagnosis of autism (ASD) according to standard criteria.
- Your child's expressive language (what they can say) must be below a 27-month level as measured by a specific scale.
- Your child cannot have conditions like epilepsy or take certain medications that might affect the brain wave test.
- Your child cannot have major hearing or vision problems.

This study tests a “reward system” approach in the brain for adults with autism (and also for adults with food addiction and for healthy volunteers). It may help researchers understand brain and behavior differences and whether this kind of task-based training is safe and useful.
This study uses an MRI scan to better understand brain differences in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and compares them with their relatives and people without ASD. It mainly helps researchers connect brain findings with genetics and background health information.
This study tests a music and rhythm-based method to help improve communication and language in young children with autism. It may be a fun, engaging way to support your child's development.
This study checks how children’s brains and bodies respond to sounds using a hearing test called BAEP. It compares children with autism to other children with typical development to learn whether sound processing differs.
This study looks at how a brain chemical related to calming signals (“GABA”) may affect how people process sounds in autism. The goal is to understand brain function during hearing tasks, which could help guide future treatments.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method called aiTBS, guided by brain scans, to help improve language in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It is for children aged 3 to 6.5 years who have language delays and speak Mandarin.
