Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Study for Adults With Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
This is a randomized interventional study designed to evaluate the effects of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) on neural and behavioral facets of social cognition in adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Biomarker-Driven Pharmacological Treatment of Adolescents With Autism Spectrum Disorder With Gabapentin
The social cognitive deficits associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are related to an imbalance in excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission, specifically a deficit in the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA. The investigators have used magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) techniques to measure GABA in specific brain regions and have demonstrated that a single …
Telehealth Parent-Implemented Intervention for Young Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
The primary objective of this research study is to improve outcomes involving core social-communication symptoms for young children with ASD by increasing access to clinically validated early behavioral intervention through a telehealth parent coaching model. The investigators will test the hypothesis that telehealth delivered NDBI parent coaching (TC) is non-inferior …
Evaluation of the Videodrama Therapeutic Device for Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder (Valerie, Sperenza, 2009) that begins early in development, characterized by persistent deficits in communication and social interactions across various contexts and restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities. These symptoms significantly impact social, school/professional functioning, or other important areas and are …
Impact of AAI Dogs on Performance and Behavior of Children with Autism
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder usually diagnosed in early childhood. Children with ASD exhibit social communication and interaction problems, which may cause deficits in social-emotional reciprocity, problems with developing, maintaining, and understanding relationships, and abnormal nonverbal communicative behaviors such as impaired eye contact and body language. …
A Metacognitive Group Therapy of Depression and Anxiety in Youth With Autism
The goal of this open clinical trial is to try out and evaluate a group metacognitive treatment protocol, for adolescents aged 15-18 years of age with anxiety and/or depression and an autism diagnosis. The main questions it aims to answer are: How does the recruitment to the study work and …
Targeting Repetitive Behaviors in Autism Spectrum Disorder Via Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
Repetitive behaviors (RBs) are a prevalent feature of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). There are two groups of RBs: lower-order (e.g. motor stereotypies) and higher-order RBs (e.g. restricted interests), linked to sensory-motor and the associative loops, respectively. To date, treatment options for RBs are very limited. High-definition transcranial direct current stimulation …
Investigating the Clinical Utility of the Oxford Virtual Autism Assessment Tool (OVAAT)
The goal of the study is to evaluate a new Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnostic tool (Oxford Virtual Autism Assessment Tool (OVAAT)) to see whether it can: Be able to identify autistic traits Be able to distinguish between autistic and non-autistic young people Is the tool better, similar or worse …
Probiotics for Autism Spectrum Disorders: a Randomized Controlled Trial (The PASD Study)
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a group of severe neurodevelopmental conditions characterized by impaired communication and social interaction, as well as repetitive/stereotyped behaviors deriving from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The ASD diagnosis rates increased dramatically over the past number of decades. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of …
Effects Of DPPT On Motor Skills And Sleep In Children With Autism
It will be conducted as a Quasi Experimental study across pediatric therapy centers, specialized autism clinics, and special schools. Using non-probability convenience sampling, the study will enroll Autistic children aged 6-10 years who exhibit sensory processing difficulties, motor skill delays, and sleep disturbances. Exclusion criteria include other neurological or developmental …
