First seen Nov 21, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 32 times
Summary
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve cognitive and social abilities in 90 adolescents with autism spectrum disorder. Researchers will also see if extra 'booster' sessions help maintain any benefits over time. The goal is to ease core symptoms like social difficulties and inattention, not to cure the condition.
