ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at whether taking 100mg of Vitamin B6 each day can help reduce anxiety and improve sensory sensitivity in adults with autism. The researchers will compare the effects of Vitamin B6 to a placebo (a pill that does not contain the active ingredient) to see if there are any differences in how participants feel and react to sensory experiences.

To be eligible for this study, participants need to be between 18 and 60 years old and have a diagnosis of autism. However, those who are currently taking other Vitamin B6 supplements or certain medications, or have specific health issues like peripheral neuropathy (a nerve condition), will not be able to join. If someone participates, they will either receive the Vitamin B6 or the placebo for a set period and will be monitored for any changes in their anxiety and sensory responses. This trial is currently recruiting participants, so it's a great opportunity for those who meet the criteria and are looking for ways to manage their symptoms.
