First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 29 times

Summary

This study tests whether a safe, low-level brain stimulation called tDCS can help children with autism improve learning and thinking skills when used alongside their usual behavioral therapy. About 24 children aged 5 to 12 will receive tDCS during therapy sessions. Researchers will measure changes in executive function and brain activity to see if this combination works better than therapy alone.
