Study Finds Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Ineffective Treatment For Children With

Autism

http://is.gd/4SXJ7

Research conducted by the Center for Autism and Related Disorders, Inc.

(CARD), shines new light on the effects of a popular form of hyperbaric oxygen

therapy (HBOT) treatment for children with autism and related disorders. The

" Randomized Trial of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Children with Autism " study

reveals that HBOT, consisting of 24% oxygen delivered at 1.3 atmospheres of

pressure, does not have a significant effect on symptoms of autism. This study

was led by Doreen Granpeesheh, PhD, BCBA-D; Tarbox, PhD, BCBA-D; Dennis

R. Dixon, PhD; Arthur E. Wilke; S. , PsyD; and

Bradstreet, MD, MD (H), FAAFP. It is published in the current issue of Research

in Autism Spectrum Disorders.

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) are characterized by the presence of

impaired development in social interaction and communication and the presence of

a restricted repertoire of activity and interests. While numerous treatments for

ASDs have been proposed, very few have been subjected to rigorous scientific

investigation.

HBOT has been recently popularized as a treatment for the symptoms of

ASDs. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that HBOT would have

a beneficial effect on ASD symptoms in the context of a double-blind

placebo-controlled trial.

This randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial compared HBOT used

to deliver 24% oxygen at 1.3 atmospheric pressure (n = 18) to placebo (n = 16)

in children with Autistic Disorder. Both direct observational measures of

behaviors symptomatic of autism and standardized psychological assessments were

used to evaluate the effects of the treatment.

CARD researchers found no differences between HBOT and placebo groups

across any of the outcome measures. The present study demonstrates that HBOT

delivered at 24% oxygen at 1.3 atmospheric pressure does not result in a

clinically significant improvement in the symptoms of Autistic Disorder.

In addition, CARD maintains a reputation as one of the world's largest and

most experienced organizations effectively treating children with autism,

Asperger's Syndrome, PDD-NOS, and related disorders. Following the principles of

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), CARD develops individualized treatment plans

for children worldwide

I think the issue is some children need the oxygen and some children have

multiple issue with producing waste product instead of nitric oxide.

How does it specifically helps your son? Do you have before and after brain

SPECT scans or lab tests? Are the gains you are referring permanent?
