Easy vital signs for children with autism in the emergency room
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to check vital signs (like heart rate and temperature) in children with autism who are in the emergency room. The goal is to make the experience less stressful for your child, using a device that may be more comfortable than traditional methods.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 2 and 17 years old.
- Your child has a suspected or confirmed autism diagnosis (from a doctor or caregiver).
- Your child is in the emergency room and needs their vital signs checked.
- There is a suitable place on your child's body to attach the monitoring device.

This study tests a wearable sensor that helps teenagers with autism learn to calm their anxiety by focusing on their breathing and heart rate. Participation lasts 8 weeks and may help reduce anxiety symptoms.
This study looks at how people with autism (and some without autism) react during a routine blood test. Researchers will watch and measure behavior and body responses to better understand distress and comfort during needle procedures.
This study tests whether a tablet/computer app can reliably spot early autism signs in toddlers. If it works well, it could help families and clinicians screen sooner and more accurately.
This observational study looks at different groups of people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using existing medical records and caregiver reports. It may help researchers better understand what different autistic subgroups need, without giving an experimental treatment.
This study tests whether using a person’s heart rate to guide care can improve day-to-day support for autistic people who do not communicate verbally. It’s aimed at people who live in a care home or attend a staffed day program most days of the week.
This study tests a music and rhythm-based method to help improve communication and language in young children with autism. It may be a fun, engaging way to support your child's development.
