Sound therapy for thinking and sensory issues in kids with developmental disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether special sound patterns played through headphones can help improve thinking and reduce sensitivity to noise in children with Fragile X syndrome or autism. The study uses a short daily listening program over several weeks to see if it makes a difference.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 5 and 10 years old.
- Your child has either Fragile X syndrome (confirmed by genetic testing), or autism without a known genetic cause, or is a typically developing child.
- If your child has autism, they must have a score of 15 or less on a special questionnaire about social communication.
- Your child is in good overall health with no major medical issues.
- Your child does not have any hearing or vision problems that can't be fixed with glasses or hearing aids.
- Your child has not had any substance abuse problems in the past 6 months.

This study uses special brain-monitoring tools (fNIRS and EEG) to look at how preschool-aged children process sounds. It may help researchers understand early sound perception differences, especially in children with Fragile X Syndrome.
This study measures how well people with autism or fragile X syndrome perceive speech in noisy settings, compared to typically developing individuals. It uses EEG to understand brain activity during listening tasks.
This study uses safe brain monitoring (fNIRS and EEG) to see how infants with Fragile X syndrome process sounds compared to other infants. The goal is to find early signs of hearing or perception issues.
This trial studies a home-based treatment for autism (or related conditions) using specially designed sound, image, and electromagnetic devices. It aims to see whether this personalized “treatment code” and device approach can improve autism-related skills and behaviors.
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 if group cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help teens with Fragile X syndrome or autism spectrum disorder improve social and emotional skills. It looks at how teens with these conditions respond to a structured group program.
