Study on repetitive behaviors and eating problems in adults with developmental disabilities
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at repetitive behaviors (like hand-flapping or rocking) and feeding difficulties in adults with developmental disabilities. The goal is to understand these behaviors better and find ways to improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how different rewards (reinforcements) work best for people with neurodevelopmental conditions who exhibit problem behaviors. The goal is to find ways to improve behavior support.
This study looks at basic and applied methods to understand “extinction bursts,” times when a hard-to-control behavior may briefly get worse before it improves. It may help families and clinicians choose safer, more effective behavior supports for children with very frequent problem behaviors.
This study is testing a feeding intervention for children aged 2 to 7 with feeding disorders and neurodevelopmental disorders like autism. It aims to help improve their eating habits.
This trial tests a structured (manualized) assessment and treatment approach for children who have very frequent challenging behaviors despite prior help. It aims to reduce these behaviors and improve daily functioning by targeting what keeps the behavior going.
This trial tests behavior-support strategies that may help gradually reduce how often a child’s destructive behavior gets reinforced. It’s aimed at children with frequent destructive behavior that continues even with past treatment.
This study looks at how to reduce serious problem behaviors (including self-injury) in children who have it many times per day even after previous treatment. It may help if your child’s behavior is driven by social attention or other positive effects and they can stay on the same supports, school plan, and medicines during the study.
