Brain zaps tested to lift depression in autistic youth

NCT ID NCT06670040

Summary

This study is testing whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help reduce depression in teens and young adults with autism. Researchers are comparing a real stimulation treatment to a fake (sham) treatment in 24 participants aged 13-26 who have both autism and depression that hasn't improved with medication. The goal is to see if this approach can rapidly ease depressive symptoms in this specific group.
