Brain zaps tested to ease autism challenges in kids

NCT ID NCT06524310

Summary

This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS could improve symptoms in children with autism. Thirty-five children, aged 5 to 11, received either real or sham (fake) magnetic pulses to see if it helped with memory, social skills, and sensory processing. The goal was to see if this safe, painless method could offer a new way to manage some of the core challenges of autism.
