Arbaclofen for Autism Spectrum Disorders: a crossover and open-label study in children and adolescents
This study tests arbaclofen versus placebo in children and teens with autism to see if the drug affects brain metrics and improves social, adaptive, and quality-of-life outcomes.
-
Driving Performance in Adolescents With Autism vs. Neurotypical Teens
This study tests whether teens with autism make more driving errors than neurotypical teens after limited practice, using a driving simulator and a real-road assessment.
-
Collaborative tools to set priorities, support shared decisions, and track quality of life for children with autism
This pilot will try combining new and existing questionnaires to track quality of life, overall functioning, and needs in children with autism under 12 who are receiving usual care.
-
AquOTic water-safety and swim-skills program for children with autism
This 10-week occupational therapy–led program will try to improve water safety and swimming skills in children aged 5–9 on the autism spectrum by comparing delivery by student professionals versus trained community interventionists.
-
Intestinal permeability testing in children with autism
This tests whether children with autism have a leakier gut than their unaffected siblings by having them drink a sugar mix and collecting urine for measurement.
-
Prednisone in adults with an immune-related subtype of autism
This study tests whether prednisone, an anti-inflammatory drug, can help adults with a specific immune-related form of autism compared to a placebo.
-
A system for diagnosing and treating children's brain diseases using advanced technology
This study is testing a new system that uses advanced technology to help doctors diagnose and treat different brain diseases in children, like ADHD and autism, by combining ideas from both Chinese and Western medicine.
