Detailed Description
Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired social communication and repetitive behaviors. Broad cognitive control function deficit in ASD suggested cognitive control function as a potential phenotype and treatment target. Using the personalized Brain Functional Sectors (pBFS) technique, investigators could precisely identify individualized brain areas underlying cognitive control function based on the task free functional MRI data. The tailored TMS intervention target to cognitive control function network which located in the left dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) will be selected for each participant by a blinded researcher.
The participants will be equally randomized to the active iTBS to the cognitive control function network, and sham iTBS at a ratio of 2:1. Each participant will receive 5 days of treatment per week for 12 weeks. Functional MRI data under sedation will be collected pre-and post-treatment. Three behavioral evaluations will be taken pre-treatment, after 8-weeks treatment and after 12-weeks treatment.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: DLPFC group
Active iTBS will be delivered to the cognitive control network at left DLPFC.
|
Each participant will receive 1800 pulse active iTBS (100% RMT) in each session, 3 sessions per day, 5 days per week for 12 weeks.
Between every two iTBS sessions, the participant will receive a personalized 30-minutes one-on-one behavioral course, 2 courses per day, 5 days per week for 12 weeks.
|
Sham Comparator: Sham group
Sham iTBS will be delivered to the cognitive control network at left DLPFC.
|
Between every two iTBS sessions, the participant will receive a personalized 30-minutes one-on-one behavioral course, 2 courses per day, 5 days per week for 12 weeks.
Each participant will receive 1800 pulse sham iTBS (100% RMT) in each session, 3 sessions per day, 5 days per week for 12 weeks.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Response rate after 12 weeks treatment
Time Frame: Pre-treatment (baseline), after 12-weeks treatment
|
Treatment response is defined as improvement, i.e., scores decreased, in both the social affect (SA) dimension score change of autism diagnostic observation scale, 2nd edition (ADOS-2) from baseline.
For ADOS-2 SA, higher scores means more severe symptom.
