Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests whether an AI-powered electric toothbrush and visual teaching materials can improve oral hygiene in children with autism. Fifty kids aged 5-13 will either use a manual toothbrush with picture guides or the smart toothbrush with an app. Researchers will check plaque and gum health after 3 weeks.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
AI-enabled electric toothbrush and visual pedagogy materials
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a practical, tech-based way to help children with autism maintain better oral hygiene at home.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 50 participants and no blinding, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention relies on caregiver engagement, which may vary.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.
