Brain stimulation for social skills in autism
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial uses a gentle electrical current to stimulate a brain area involved in social skills. It aims to help children with autism improve their social functioning.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 3 and 18 years old.
- You must have a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) confirmed by standard assessments.
- You cannot have other conditions like schizophrenia, mood disorders, epilepsy, or a history of head trauma.

This trial tests whether a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp (transcranial direct current stimulation) can help children with autism spectrum disorder. The goal is to see if this non-invasive brain stimulation can improve symptoms.
This study tests if a gentle brain stimulation technique (tDCS) can help improve brain function in adolescents with autism. It aims to find out which teens might benefit most.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method combined with sensory activities to help children with autism. The goal is to see if this approach can improve how they process sensory information.
This trial looks at how a non-invasive brain stimulation technique may help improve social skills in people with autism. It uses a mild magnetic pulse to target brain circuits involved in social interaction.
This study tests if gentle brain stimulation (called tDCS), given at home, can help children with autism who have trouble with self-control or social communication. The goal is to see if it improves behavior and social skills.
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique (tDCS placed on the scalp) may help children and teens with autism. It will compare outcomes before and after the stimulation sessions to see if it is safe and potentially beneficial.
