Assessing Moral Cognitive Skills in Adults With Autism Spectrum Disorders
In the international literature, it is currently accepted that, relative to neurotypicals, people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) present patterns of moral judgments marked by a minimization of intentionality and a strong condemnation of agents responsible for accidents. However, until now, all studies are based on declarative paradigms, and no …
Open-label Pilot Study Synbiotic Treatment for Autism Spectrum Disorder
The objective of this study is to conduct a open-label pilot study evaluating the feasibility, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of a 12-week course of synbiotic in improving anxiety symptoms in children with ASD. The investigators hypothesise that the course of synbiotic will feasible and tolerable, and that there will be …
STEPS: A Virtual Reality-based Intervention for Adults With Autism.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a new Virtual Reality-based intervention will be effective in treating social cognitive challenges in adults with autism. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is Virtual Reality-based social cognitive training effective in reducing social cognitive deficits and improving psychosocial …
Course of Face-to-face Interactions in Adults With Autism
This research explores how adults with autism make eye contact during formal and informal interactions; to what extent the nature of a conversation influences how eye contact is made in terms of length, frequency and overall presentation. Also what physiological responses to eye contact are, in order to determine to …
Autism Research Project With Non-Invasive Near-Infrared Light Stimulation
The investigators have previously shown that the administration of low-level infrared light is a safe and non-invasive procedure which improves cognition and emotion, as well as enhances brain metabolic activity. Based on previous studies, the investigators hypothesize that this methodology, called low-level light therapy or photobiomodulation, could be used to …
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Background: Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a form of non-invasive brain stimulation that has aroused increased interests in the past decade. Not only that it is transient with little side-effects, and can be well-tolerated by children, it is also affordable and readily accessible, making it an appealing treatment option …
Safety and Efficacy of tPBM for Epileptiform Activity in Autism
For this study, the proposed intervention will be noninvasively delivered near infra-red (NIR) light - transcranial Photobiomodulation (tPBM) - to the brains of autistic children. This will occur, twice a week, for 10 weeks. The NIR light is delivered to specific brain areas by Cognilum, a wearable device developed by …
Efficacy of Nutritional Supplements on Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if nutritional supplements could alleviate the clinical symptoms in children with autism spectrum disorder. It will also learn about the safety of these nutritional supplements. Researchers will compare the combination of nutritional supplements and behavioral intervention, to behavioral intervention alone, to …
Smartphone-Based Neurobehavioral Assessments as a Diagnostic Aid in Autism
Retrospective case-control study to assess the diagnostic accuracy in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) of a new smartphone-based platform designed to conduct neurometric evaluations by measuring facial and behavioural reflexes.
Integrated Platform for Measuring and Reducing Symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder
This study will consist of a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled clinical trial at SUNY Upstate Medical University with 40 autistic children evaluating the effects of transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) on multiple clinically validated scales.
