rTMS to Improve Motor Function in Autism

Modulating Plasticity in the Motor Cortex Using Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to Improve Motor Function in Autism Spectrum Disorder

Sponsor

Centre for Addiction and Mental Health

Enrollment

150 participants

Start Date

Apr 24, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Autism Spectrum Disorder Motor Activity

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.

Eligibility

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This clinical trial is studying a medical device called Active rTMS to the motor cortex and a medical device called Sham rTMS to the motor cortex for people with autism spectrum disorder and motor activity. The study is currently recruiting participants at 1 location. People eligible for this study include aged 18 Years to 40 Years.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
