rTMS to Improve Motor Function in Autism

NCT06497920 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 150

Last updated 2025-11-14

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In the current project, investigators have two main goals: i) Testing whether an excessive plasticity, i.e. hyperplasticity in the motor cortex underlies motor function difficulties in autistic adults, and ii) Using repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) with autistic adults to examine whether resulting reduced hyperplasticity in the motor cortex will be associated with clinical improvements in the motor function.
