Accelerated continuous theta burst stimulation targeting left primary motor cortex for children with autism spectrum disorder: multicentre randomised sham controlled trial
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a five-day accelerated continuous theta burst stimulation (a-cTBS) protocol in enhancing social communication abilities in children with autism spectrum disorder. The multicentre randomized sham-controlled trial found that a-cTBS significantly reduced social communication impairments and improved language skills compared to the sham treatment, with a favorable safety profile. These results suggest that a-cTBS could be a promising therapeutic option for this population.
