简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and tolerability of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) combined with cognitive training in adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and/or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
The main question it aims to answer is:
Is tDCS safe and well-tolerated in adults with ASD and/or ADHD?
Researchers will compare active tDCS to a sham (placebo-like) stimulation to evaluate safety and tolerability.
Participants will:
Receive either active or sham tDCS for 20 minutes daily over 10 consecutive workdays
Undergo stimulation with the anode placed at F3 and the cathode at Fp2
Complete daily cognitive training exercises using the NeuronUP platform during stimulation
Attend baseline and follow-up assessments to monitor for any side effects or discomfort related to the intervention

研究组 & 干预措施
Active tDCS + Cognitive Training
Participants in this arm will receive anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) at 2 mA for 20 minutes per session over 10 consecutive workdays. The anode will be placed over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (F3) and the cathode over the right frontopolar cortex (Fp2) using the 10-20 EEG system. Stimulation will be administered concurrently with cognitive training using the NeuronUP platform, which includes tasks targeting attention, memory, and executive function.
干预措施: Cognitive Training (Behavioral)

干预措施: Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation - Active (Device)
Sham tDCS + Cognitive Training
Participants in this arm will undergo the same setup and procedures as the active tDCS group but will receive sham stimulation, which mimics the sensation of tDCS without delivering current beyond the initial ramp-up/down. They will also complete cognitive training with the NeuronUP platform during each session.

结局指标
主要结局
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability]
时间窗: Throughout the 10-day intervention period and at follow-up (up to 2 weeks post-intervention)
Participants will be monitored for adverse events, side effects (e.g., headache, skin irritation, fatigue), and dropout rates. This will be assessed through participant self-report, clinician observation, and standardized side effect checklists administered during and after each session. The outcome will help determine whether daily tDCS paired with cognitive training is safe and acceptable for adults with ASD and/or ADHD.
