Brain Stimulation and Sensory Training for Children with Autism
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be 6 to 12 years old.
- They need a confirmed diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder.
- Their thinking and learning skills (IQ) should be 70 or higher.
- They must be able to follow simple instructions and sit still for 15–20 minutes.
- No history of seizures, epilepsy, or metal in the head (like implants).
- Medications must be stable for at least 4 weeks before starting.

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 whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can help children with ADHD improve their attention. If it works, it could offer a new non-medication option.
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 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 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.
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.
