First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called accelerated theta burst stimulation (aTBS) can safely reduce symptoms of depression in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Researchers will compare the active treatment to a sham (placebo) procedure in 24 participants aged 13 to 26. The goal is to see if this approach offers a new way to ease depression that hasn't responded to other treatments.
