First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve social skills and thinking in 150 teenagers with autism. Participants will receive multiple sessions of tDCS, and some will get extra 'booster' sessions to see if benefits last longer. The goal is to find a safe, drug-free way to ease core autism symptoms like trouble communicating and repetitive behaviors.
