Neurofeedback training for autistic children
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a brain training technique called neurofeedback for children with autism. The goal is to see if it can help improve how the brain works and possibly reduce autism-related challenges.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 8 and 12 years old.

This trial uses a brain imaging technique called fNIRS (a safe, non-invasive headband) to give you real-time feedback on your brain activity. The goal is to help you learn to improve your emotion regulation. It may be helpful if you have no major mental health conditions and want to try a new way to manage emotions.
This trial tests whether a computer-based training program in virtual reality can help improve thinking and learning skills in autistic people. The study explores whether this type of brain training might support daily functioning and cognitive abilities.
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 trial studies whether training your brain signals (neurofeedback) and sending gentle pulses to the brain (transcranial pulse stimulation) can improve attention. You might be a candidate if you’re an adult with below-threshold sustained attention scores and meet safety and health requirements.
This study tests a new type of brain training called neurofeedback to help children with ADHD. Children complete sessions where they learn to control their own brain activity, which may improve attention and focus.
This trial tests a new brain stimulation therapy (called NeuroCytotron) to see if it helps children with autism who have some verbal communication. The goal is to help the brain form new connections and improve symptoms.
