Summary

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) shows promise for treating autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This neurostimulation technique altered brain activity patterns and improved behavioral scores in children with ASD, unlike sham treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Clinical Neurology

Background:

  • Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition impacting behavior.
  • Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is an emerging neuromodulation technique with potential therapeutic applications.
  • Understanding EEG microstate differences in ASD is crucial for developing targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effects of tDCS on EEG microstates in children with ASD.
  • To compare EEG microstates between children with typical development (TD) and ASD.
  • To evaluate changes in EEG microstates and Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC) scores following tDCS in ASD.

Main Methods:

  • EEG microstate analysis was performed on children with TD and ASD.
  • Children with ASD received either active tDCS or sham stimulation.
  • EEG microstates and ABC scores were assessed before and after intervention.

Main Results:

  • Significant differences in microstates A, B, and D were observed between TD and ASD groups.
  • Active tDCS in the ASD group led to significant changes in microstates A and C, and ABC scores.
  • The control (sham) group showed no significant changes in EEG microstates or ABC scores.

Conclusions:

  • tDCS demonstrates potential as a viable treatment for ASD.
  • The findings suggest tDCS can modulate brain activity and behavior in individuals with ASD.
  • Further research is warranted to explore tDCS efficacy in ASD treatment.
