NCT04327648

Brief Summary

Current study try to find out whether social interaction treatment is effective for ASD children. ASD children will be divided into three groups, social interaction treatment group, neuronal cognition treatment and routine treatment group. Based on excited recognition training treatment effect on the core symptom of ADHD by tablet computer, the investigators propose that tablet computer social interaction treatment may induce a significant improvement in ameliorating the social disorder of ASD.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Childhood Autism Rating Scale, (CARS)

    CARS is a behaviour-rating scale used to assess the presence and severity of the symptoms of autism spectrum disorder(ASD), with scores ranging from 15 to 60 and high scores indicating severe symptoms. Change of the CARS from baseline to 3 months after treatment to evaluate the effect of tablet computer social interaction treatment on ASD children.

    The baseline and 3 months after treatment

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Social responsiveness scale, (SRS)

    The baseline and 3 months after treatment

  • Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, ADOS

    The baseline and 3 months after treatment

  • Clinical Global Impression, CGI

    The baseline and 3 months after treatment

Other Outcomes (2)

  • Head magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

    The baseline and 3 months after treatment

  • Head functional Near infra-red spectroscopy (fNIRs)

    The baseline and 3 months after treatment

Study Arms (3)

Social interaction treatment

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

During the treatment days, children in social interaction treatment group will have 30min social interaction each day for 3 months. ASD children are followed up closely.

Device: Social interaction treatment

Neuronal cognition treatment

SHAM COMPARATOR

Children in neuronal cognition treatment group will experienced neural cognition training 30min each day for 3 months. ASD children are followed up closely.

Device: Neuronal cognition treatment

Routine treatment

OTHER

Children in routine treatment group will keep the same initial treatment. ASD children are followed up closely.

Other: Routine treatment

Interventions

Children in social interaction treatment group will have 30min social interaction each day for 3 months.

Social interaction treatment

Children in neuronal cognition treatment group will experienced neural cognition training 30min each day for 3 months.

Neuronal cognition treatment

Children in routine treatment group will keep the same initial treatment.

Routine treatment
