Highlighted claims

• Self-injurious behaviour consists of repetitive bodily harm without suicidal intent. — Electrical Stimulation of the Nucleus Accumbens for Severe, Refractory Self-Injurious Behaviour in Children (EASE-SIB): protocol for a randomised double-blinded crossover trial
• Severe SIB can cause serious injury, permanent disability, or death in people with neurodevelopmental disorders. — Electrical Stimulation of the Nucleus Accumbens for Severe, Refractory Self-Injurious Behaviour in Children (EASE-SIB): protocol for a randomised double-blinded crossover trial
• A subgroup of children with severe refractory SIB may need protective equipment or physical restraint to prevent harm. — Electrical Stimulation of the Nucleus Accumbens for Severe, Refractory Self-Injurious Behaviour in Children (EASE-SIB): protocol for a randomised double-blinded crossover trial
• Automatically maintained SIB persists independently of social reinforcement and is associated with more severe injury and poorer intervention response. — Electrical Stimulation of the Nucleus Accumbens for Severe, Refractory Self-Injurious Behaviour in Children (EASE-SIB): protocol for a randomised double-blinded crossover trial
• SIB can be socially maintained when social events and reinforcers modulate the behaviour. — Electrical Stimulation of the Nucleus Accumbens for Severe, Refractory Self-Injurious Behaviour in Children (EASE-SIB): protocol for a randomised double-blinded crossover trial
• Automatically maintained SIB is linked to more frequent and severe injuries and ongoing protective equipment use. — Electrical Stimulation of the Nucleus Accumbens for Severe, Refractory Self-Injurious Behaviour in Children (EASE-SIB): protocol for a randomised double-blinded crossover trial
