NCT ID: NCT04557488 Completed - Clinical trials for Autism Spectrum Disorder

Effectiveness of Music Therapy in Social Skill Intervention for Children With ASD/ID

Start date: October 1, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental impairment characterized by persistent deficits in social communication and interactions. The prevalence figures have increased rapidly in recent years due to the expansion of diagnostic criteria and increased public awareness. The clinical presentations of ASD vary to a large extent, and approximately 56% of children with ASD possess below average intellectual ability (IQ < 85). The intellectual, verbal, and social ability in this population may greatly influence intervention outcomes. The social development of children with ASD and comorbid intellectual disability (ID) is not well understood, and how children with ASD/ID respond to social skill interventions remains to be investigated. Musical elements are a part of various behavioral interventions for ASD, however, the effects of music as interventions for ASD individuals have not been comprehensively examined in Hong Kong. The proposed study will address limited research evidence on music therapy as an intervention for social functioning in children with ASD with mild to borderline ID. Music therapy is a systematic process of intervention, wherein a therapist helps clients promote their health by using musical experience and relationships that develop through them. In particular, the investigators will examine whether using music therapy in social skill intervention provides additional benefits relative to non-musical intervention in a 12-week randomized controlled trial. Pre-treatment neural response of electroencephalograms (EEG) to social scenes will be used to predict the outcomes of social skill interventions, whereas EEG responses to music will be used to predict the effectiveness of musical social skill intervention. If correlation is found, then the long-term goal is to develop individualized intervention based on pre-treatment markers to maximize treatment efficacy. Aims and hypotheses: 1. Is social skill intervention using music therapy more effective in enhancing social interaction than non-musical social skill training for children with ASD and co-occurring mild/borderline ID? 2. Participants with enhanced neural response to social scenes relative to baseline would be more responsive to social skill interventions. 3. Participants with enhanced neural response to preferred music relative to baseline would be more responsive to music therapy targeting social skill intervention.

In addition, the effect of the intervention on blood pressure will be evaluated as the secondary outcomes.

NCT ID: NCT04546464 Completed - Clinical trials for Intellectual Disability

The Effects of Therapeutic Recreation Activities on Aberrant Behaviours of Individuals With Intellectual Disabilities

Start date: May 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Therapeutic Recreation Activities on Aberrant Behavior of Adolescents With Intellectual Disabilities. The research was carried out at Meram Melike Hatun Special Education Vocational School in Konya. The study took place between May 2019 and June 2019. The parents of the participants who participated in the study consisted of the experimental group (n = 16) and the remaining parents (n = 16) formed the control group and the sample group (n = 32). The personal information form which measures demographic characteristics developed by the researchers according to the literature, and The Aberrant Behavior Checklist Scale were used. Data were analyzed in SPSS statistics 23 program. According to Shapiro Wilk test, sample group was not normal. For this reason, non-parametric tests were performed. In descriptive data, the mean, number, percentage will be used; Comparative statistics were made according to the assumptions of non-parametric test (Wilcoxon test, Mann Whitney U test). Therapeutic Recreation Activities was applied as total of 16 sessions, consisting of two sessions per week and each session lasting about 1 hour. The program was implemented by researcher.

Better Delineation of BCL11B Related Phenotype and Epigenetic Signature.

Start date: November 1, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

BCL11B related disorder, also known as Gabriele-de-Vries syndrome, is mainly characterised by developmental delay (DD) and intellectual disability (ID), ranging from mild to severe, and neuroimaging abnormalities. The aims of this study are first to better delineate the clinical phenotype, as well as the neuropsychological profile, and the brain MRI characteristics; and, second, to study the epigenetic signatures in a cohort of individuals with BCL11B intragenic pathogenic variants. This work will conduct to a MD thesis of a clinical resident geneticist in France. Physician that will participate will fill an Excel sheet regarding the clinical and neuropsychological assessment. The investigators will be also happy to have either CD-ROM or a link to have access to the brain MRI data as well as a DNA sample with a minimum 0.5ug of peripheral blood genomic DNA. The investigators will gather the DNA in Montpellier genetic lab (Dr Mouna BARAT) and send the batch to the Dr Sadikovic' lab. Between 2019 and 2020, The investigators have already recruited data from individuals with BCL11B pathogenic variants from several European and American genetic centres.

NCT ID: NCT04518358 Completed - Clinical trials for Autism Spectrum Disorder

Expert Guiding Technology to Help Individuals With Developmental Challenges Build Life and Vocational Skills

Start date: September 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Clinical trials will evaluate the efficacy of expert guiding technology to support instructors to better help individuals with developmental challenges due to ASD and ID learn life and vocational skills. Single Case Research Designs (SCRD) will be used to evaluate expert guiding technology interventions to support Task Analysis. SCRDs are a viable alternative to large group studies such as randomized clinical trials. Single case studies involve repeated measures, and manipulation of an independent variable. SCRD studies allow for rigorous experimental evaluation of intervention effects and provide a strong basis for establishing causal inferences. Research design: A multiple baseline across tasks or participants will be used to evaluate the impact of the expert guiding technology on staff and consumers' performance. Dependent Variables. DV1: Staff performance: The percentage of teaching steps correctly implemented will be calculated and monitored. The teaching steps are predetermined including what types of prompts will be used for each step of the task analysis of the identified consumer's adaptive living skills, record data on consumer's performance, and the timing of delivery of reinforcers and prompts. DV2: Consumers' performance: The percentage of Independent completion of the steps of task analyses for identified daily living skills will be calculated and monitored. The completed step is considered "independent" when the consumer completed the step without prompts from the staff within five seconds of the initial instruction (discriminative stimulus) given or the completion of the previous step. DV3: Consumers' performance: the amount of time taken to independent completion. Independent Variable: Versions of expert guiding technology to support instructors in providing Task Analyses instruction while collecting data on consumer performance. GAINS: During the GAINS sessions, the staff will follow the pre-programmed teaching protocol in the expert guiding technology. The system will provide step-by-step verbal prompts to the staff throughout the sessions. This includes which prompt to use for each step, when to provide reinforcers, and which target task to work on. The system will also monitor the consumer's progress and notify the staff if the target task is mastered or not.
