Tracking Daily Movement in Children With Autism
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses wearable sensors (worn on the wrist and in special insoles) and one night of sleep monitoring to understand how children with autism move and sleep. The goal is to learn more about autism and potentially identify patterns that could help with diagnosis or care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
- Your child is between 2 and 18 years old
- Your child is able to walk on their own without help
- Your child can wear a wrist sensor continuously for 7 days and special insoles for tracking walking patterns
- Your child can participate in one night of sleep monitoring at home with video and brain-wave recording
- Both parents or legal guardians must consent, and your child must agree if old enough to do so

This study tests whether a portable sleep monitor works well for children with autism who are having their first sleep study. It aims to find easier ways to track sleep patterns at home.
This study tests a therapy called Sleep Restriction Therapy to help children with autism who have trouble sleeping. It aims to see if this approach can improve sleep without changing other treatments.
This study uses wearable devices (like smartwatches or activity trackers) to monitor movement and motor development in young children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a rare genetic condition affecting muscle strength. The goal is to see if wearables can track disease progression and treatment response better than traditional clinic visits.
This study tests whether small movement sensors can accurately track how much and how well teenagers and young adults with cerebral palsy move during daily life. The results may help doctors better understand movement problems and design better therapies.
This trial tests how well movement sensors work when children and youth with different motor abilities play a game. It may help improve technology that tracks movement for therapy or fun activities.
This study tests a sleep program designed for children with autism and their families, delivered in the community. It aims to help improve your child's sleep and overall well-being.
