Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to continue to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of Magnetic EEG/ECG-Guided Resonance Therapy (MeRT) in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). No active MeRT treatment will be performed in this study.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Other: No intervention

Detailed Description

This clinical trial is a longitudinal study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy for subjects with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who received Magnetic EEG/ECG-Guided Resonance Therapy (MeRT) in the IRB approved clinical trial. A total of twenty-eight (28) subjects will be followed in this study. After providing informed consent, twenty-eight (28) subjects who participated in the previous protocol will be observed for up to three (3) years post-MeRT treatment. During this period, subjects will be evaluated at 104 and 156 weeks post-MeRT treatment.

  • No intervention.
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Change in Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) [Change from baseline CARS score at 104 weeks post-MeRT treatment]

      Symptom reduction in ASD will be measured using the arithmetic reduction in the CARS total score between two time points BL and week 104 (or Early Termination)

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) [Baseline, weeks 5, 10, and 12, and 104 and 156 weeks post-MeRT treatment]

      Symptom reduction in ASD will be measured using the arithmetic reduction in the CARS total score between the multiple time points of the MeRT-001 trial (BL, Week 5, 10 and 12), BL, Follow-Up 1 Post-MeRT Treatment (Week 104), and Follow-Up 2 Post-MeRT Treatment (Week 156).
