Summary

This clinical trial tests whether a 15-week parent-led nutrition program called Exploradores de Sabores can help children aged 4 to 11 with autism spectrum disorder eat a more varied diet and improve their nutritional status. Caregivers attend weekly group sessions with a dietitian and use structured feeding activities at home. The study compares this program with standard nutrition education to see if it reduces food selectivity and mealtime difficulties.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Exploradores de Sabores parent-mediated nutrition intervention
What this could lead to
If it works, this program could offer families a practical, non-drug way to improve nutrition and mealtime behaviors in children with autism.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with 72 children. The intervention requires significant parent commitment, and results may not apply to all children with autism.

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 72 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

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.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) requiring support levels 1, 2, or 3, without cognitive impairment. * Primary caregivers with sufficient availability to participate in and implement the intervention. * Children with or without mild functional gastrointestinal symptoms. * Children experiencing difficulties with the introduction or acceptance of new foods. * Children with clinically significant food selectivity, as determined by AUT-EAT * Children with malnutrition. Exclusion Criteria: * Current use of medications known to substantially affect appetite or feeding behavior (e.g., cyproheptadine, clonidine, or other appetite-modifying medications). * Syndromic Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). * Clinically significant gastrointestinal disorders requiring active medical treatment. * Medical conditions that significantly affect nutritional status, growth, or feeding behavior (e.g., phenylketonuria, cystic fibrosis, inflammatory bowel disease, endocrine disorders, or eating disorders). * Cases in which the parent or legal guardian attending the training sessions is not the individual responsible for implementing the intervention activities with the child at home.
