Brain-guided brain stimulation for autism
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if a type of brain stimulation (rTMS) guided by brain scans can improve thinking and behavior in people with autism who also have intellectual disability. It aims to help with social communication and daily function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 6 and 30 years old.
- You must have a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder.
- You must have an intellectual disability (IQ or DQ below 70).
- Your primary language at home must be Chinese.
- You cannot have a history of seizures or epilepsy.
- You cannot have metal implants like pacemakers or cochlear implants that would interfere with MRI or brain stimulation.

This study tests whether a type of magnetic brain stimulation can help reduce autism symptoms and improve thinking skills in young people aged 8–30 with autism. Researchers will measure changes in symptoms, brain function, and brain scans over time.
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.
This study tests whether a painless brain stimulation technique called theta burst stimulation (TBS) can help autistic adults when applied to the cerebellum. The goal is to see if one session or multiple sessions improve symptoms.
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.
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.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can help adults with autism. TMS uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate a part of the brain related to social and emotional functions. It may improve symptoms and is performed while you are awake.
