Filter by:In this trial, the investigators aim to evaluate the impact of a multispecies probiotic consisting of Bacillus subtilis W201, Bifidobacterium infantis W17, Bifidobacterium lactis W51, Lactobacillus acidophilus W37, Lactobacillus brevis W63, Lactobacillus rhamnosus W140, Lactococcus lactis W19, Propionibacterium freudenreichii W200, on the severity of autism symptoms and the quality of life in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder aged 7 to 15.
1- To test the hypothesis that using the SensoDetect Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry (BERA) technology may be an effective support tool for pediatricians to detect autism.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of the treatment of cognitive therapy software 'NDTx-01' compared to TAU (Treatment-As-Usual).
to evaluate the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in group with autism spectrum disorders in comparison to normal children group
This project aims to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of chatbot-based positive psychology intervention.
In Palestine, children with autism spectrum disorder and their parents face difficulties in receiving needed early intervention and rehabilitation services due to a lack of specialized professionals and centers, as well as cultural, political, geographical, and financial barriers. Parents also face difficulties in raising their children with autism in their homes as they lack knowledge about the disorder and the best interventions that can be used to help these children. Parent telecoaching intervention, or what is called (distance coaching via technology) can help parents and their children with autism. However, no research exists studying the possibility of using this intervention with parents and their children in Palestine and if it can have positive results on both parents and children. The goal of this trial is to learn if parent telecoaching intervention is feasible and acceptable to parents of children with autism in Palestine. It will also learn if this intervention has the potential to improve children's skills and increase parent's self-competency and quality of life. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To what extent and in what ways is providing telecoaching intervention for parents of children with Autism in Palestine possible? - How do parents see telecoaching intervention in terms of suitability, benefits, facilitators, and barriers? - Does telecoaching intervention for parents have the potential to increase children's participation in daily activities that parents consider important? - Does telecoaching intervention have the potential to enhance parents' self-competence and family quality of life? Researchers will compare parent telecoaching intervention to a web-based resource designed to provide parents with general information about autism to see if parent telecoaching intervention works to help children with autism and their parents more than the free autism resources provided on the website. Participants will: - Take a telecoaching intervention (eight sessions over eight weeks, each session lasts one hour) or use the information provided on the website about autism. - Apply the planned strategies with their children during the week and record their work using videos or by filling out a form to be reviewed at the beginning of each session.
This study will be a randomized trial that will examine the impact of a recreational ballet program on children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The research team are primarily interested in assessing changes in motor skills with secondary objectives focused on the social, psychological, and behavioral effects. The study will aim to collect data from 24 participants with ASD. Participants must be 7-12 years old, have a confirmed diagnosis of ASD, and speak English or Spanish. All participants will be enrolled in a 12 week ballet program. The ballet program is based off the curriculum and structure of Ballet for All Kids, a non-profit organization that has been tailoring ballet classes for children with ASD for over one decade. All research team members and volunteers will be trained in the BFAK program's curriculum and structure. Ballet instruction and all research materials will be provided in both English and Spanish. The research team will randomize the sample into an intervention group and waitlist control. The research team will measure outcomes through validated self-reports that caregivers will complete. For the intervention group, questionnaires will be completed at baseline and throughout the intervention (weeks 4, 8, and 12). For those in the waitlist control group, questionnaires will be completed at baseline, throughout the intervention group's ballet classes, and throughout their own participation in the program. Results of this study will help to determine if how a recreational ballet program can impact the motor, psychological, social, and behavioral skills of a child with ASD, informing the direction of future research and interventions.
A Randomized controlled double-blind clinical study on the effectiveness and safety of probiotic formula in Autistic children with gastrointestinal symptoms.
This is a multicenter study that aims to determine whether the EEG and ET experiments studied in the ABC-CT Phase 1 and ABC-CT Confirmation studies can be successfully used with 3-5-year-old children and to determine the viability of these measures as potential biomarkers in 3-5-year-old children with ASD. Blood (DNA) samples will be collected from participants with ASD and biological parents for future genomic analyses, and raw, processed, and analyzed data will be shared to create a community resource accessible for use by all qualified investigators. These objectives are designed to advance the long term objective of developing promising biomarkers via the FDA Biomarker Qualification Program. This feasibility study aims to enroll 25 ASD and 25 TD eligible participants who are 3-5 years old.
The goal of this study is to compare the neural correlates of predictive brain mechanisms during high-level social and non-social flexibility tasks, between autistic and non-autistic males and females. The aim is to better understand if autistic individuals differ from non-autistic individuals in their cognitive flexibility according to the social and predictable nature of the stimuli, at a behavioral and neurofunctional level using the functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI). As autistic females usually present a more subtle profile than autistic males, the investigators will also explore if autistic males and females present neurofunctional differences.
