NCT ID NCT05492032
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS in 150 teens with autism. The goal is to see if it can improve social skills, thinking, and behavior, and whether extra 'booster' sessions help the effects last longer. Participants will receive multiple sessions of tDCS and be monitored for changes in social responsiveness and safety.
