Study Summary

This trial will test whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can help people with ASD by improving social cognition and communication skills.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals who meet the criteria for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as per the DSM-V and confirmed by GADS, with an ability to understand and cooperate during procedures. It excludes those with severe anxiety or contact avoidance, a history of seizures, metallic implants in head/neck, or pregnant women.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study explores Trans Cranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) as a neurostimulation method to improve social interaction and cognitive functions in people with ASD. The aim is to find an effective treatment beyond current medications that only address some behavioral issues.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While not explicitly stated here, TMS can sometimes cause discomfort at the stimulation site, headache, lightheadedness, or tingling sensations. Rarely it might induce seizures or affect hearing if proper ear protection isn't used.
