Summary

The aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of precision neuromodulation in improving language ability in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who also have language development delay. The neuromodulation will be delivered using the accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (aiTBS) protocol, targeting the language network in the left superior frontal gyrus (SFG), guided by personalized Brain Functional Sector (pBFS) technology.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

active iTBS

Participants will undergo three iTBS sessions per day, with 1800 pulses per session, over a 12-week period. Individualized targets will be generated using the pBFS technique.

DEVICE

Sham iTBS

Participants will undergo three sham iTBS sessions per day, with 1800 pulses per session, over a 12-week period. Sham stimulation will be delivered through a sham coil with the identical appearance as real coil. Individualized targets will be generated using the pBFS technique.

BEHAVIORAL

speech therapy

Speech therapy will be delivered between iTBS/sham sessions. Two 30-minutes trainings every day.
