Brain stimulation for motor skills in autistic adults
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 40 years old.
- You must have a diagnosis of autism without intellectual disability.
- You must have significant motor difficulties (like trouble with coordination or fine motor tasks).
- You must not have had a seizure before.
- You must not have metal implants or be pregnant.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies a noninvasive brain stimulation (rTMS) to help reduce depression symptoms in young adults who have autism. It aims to find out if this treatment can improve mood and daily functioning without requiring recent changes to medications.
This study tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-surgical brain stimulation) can affect brain activity and learning in adults, including some autistic adults. You may also do EEG and eye-tracking tasks during the study.
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.
This trial tests whether mild brain stimulation (TMS) over the temporoparietal junction can improve a social thinking skill called 'mentalizing' in adults with autism. You would have MRI scans, cognitive tasks, and several TMS sessions.
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.
This trial tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-surgical treatment using magnets on the scalp) can reduce restricted and repetitive behaviors seen in autism. It’s designed for people with autism who have high levels of certain repetitive behaviors, like insistence on sameness or unusual interests.
