EEG study to predict language progress in young autistic children
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial records a child’s brain activity using a painless EEG (small sensors on the scalp) to see how well it can predict later language development. It may help researchers understand which children are likely to improve and when.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 3 years and 4.5 years old when starting
- You agree to join the study, and can share required study information
- If your child has autism (ASD), they have an ASD diagnosis (DSM-5)
- If your child has ASD, their spoken expressive language is below a set level (about 27 months)
- Your child does not have conditions or medicines that would interfere with EEG, such as epilepsy or anti-seizure or strong mood/psych medicines
- Your child does not have major hearing or vision problems

This study uses a short EEG recording to look at brain activity patterns in young people with early signs of mental health conditions, including those at risk for psychosis, first episode psychosis, depression, or autism. It aims to find brain markers that could help identify people who might benefit from early treatment.
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 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 tests whether a special music and rhythm program can help young children with autism who have trouble speaking. It uses songs and beats to improve communication and language skills.
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.
