Cerebellar Dysfunction in Autism

Study on Eye Movements and Brain Function in Autism Using Investigational Methods

Recruiting
13-33 years
All
Phase N/A
  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

This study investigates how eye movements are related to information processing in both healthy individuals and those diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders. The purpose is to explore the role of the cerebellum and its connections with other brain regions in contributing to autism. The study involves 40 individuals with high-functioning autism and 40 healthy individuals matched by age and gender.

Participants will undergo procedures to assess their eye movements and brain function. This will help researchers understand the differences in information processing between the two groups. Participants will be compensated for their time and involvement in the study.

  • Who can participate: Individuals aged 18-45 with no history of electroconvulsive therapy, neurological illness, or alcohol and drug dependence in the past five years are eligible. Participants should not be on medications that affect neurological or cognitive functioning and must not have hearing impairments.
  • Study details: Participants will take part in activities to assess eye movements and brain function. These activities are designed to be safe and non-invasive. Participants will receive compensation for their involvement.

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
