Brain stimulation safety study for children with autism
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation method called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and tolerable for this age group.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The child must be between 3 and 17 years old.
- They must have a formal diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
- They must be receiving outpatient care at CHA Bundang Medical Center's rehabilitation department.
- They must not have other major brain disorders, such as epilepsy, brain injury, or tumors.
- They must not have implanted devices (like pacemakers) or metal in the skull.
- They cannot be pregnant, breastfeeding, or participating in another clinical trial.

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.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help adults with autism. It's a safe procedure that uses magnetic pulses to gently activate a part of the brain.
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 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 trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can safely and effectively treat major depression in adults who also have autism spectrum disorder. rTMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific brain areas without surgery.
This trial tests if mild electrical stimulation applied to the head (tDCS) can help children with autism. Your child must be enrolled in ABA therapy and be off certain medications to join.
