NCT ID NCT07495761
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how common central sensitization (a condition where the nervous system is overly sensitive to pain) is in adults with autism who do not have intellectual disabilities. Researchers will ask 100 participants to fill out a questionnaire about pain and sensitivity. The goal is to better understand chronic pain in autism and improve future care.
