Theta Burst Stimulation for Autism in Adults
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 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 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.
