About The Study: In this randomized clinical trial of prefrontal-cerebellar transcranial pulsed current stimulation in children ages 3 to 14 with autism spectrum disorder, 20 sessions over 4 weeks improved social functioning and sleep. These findings suggest that transcranial pulsed current stimulation may serve as a viable nonpharmacologic alternative for autism spectrum disorder.
