Treatment to Promote Self-regulation in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to Promote Helpful Self-regulatory Behaviour in Children and Youth With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital
50 participants
Sep 22, 2022
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This study will evaluate the feasibility of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) with self-regulation impairment. Baseline and follow-up participant visits will include behavioral assessments of self-regulation and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to determine neurophysiological outcomes before and after rTMS treatment.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria2
- Children with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder and self-regulation impairment or challenges
- Able to participate in rTMS
Exclusion Criteria3
- Children with autism spectrum disorder but no co-morbid self-regulation disorders.
- Children with contraindications to TMS (history of seizures, family history of seizures, metal implants)
- Co-existing neurological conditions (epilepsy, stroke, etc.)
