Could a common supplement ease Autism's repetitive behaviors?

NCT ID NCT05664789

Summary

This study is testing whether N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a nutritional supplement, can reduce the severity of restricted and repetitive behaviors in children with autism. Researchers will enroll 144 children aged 3-12 in a 12-week trial where some receive NAC and others receive a placebo. The goal is to see if NAC helps ease these specific behaviors and to understand how it might work in the brain.
