Brain stimulation for adults with autism
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have not changed any of your medications in the last 3 months.
- You do not have schizophrenia or substance use disorder.

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.
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 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 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.
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 looks at how a non-invasive brain stimulation technique may help improve social skills in people with autism. It uses a mild magnetic pulse to target brain circuits involved in social interaction.
