THE EFFECTS OF HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY IN TREATMENT FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM

Fifty children with autism, 43 boys and 7 girls, aged from 2 to 10 (mean 4.9 ± 2), underwent 40 hyperbaric sessions of 60 minutes duration for each at 1.5 atmospheres and 100% oxygen. Outcome measures after 40 sessions were changed compared to pre-treatment scores and post-treatment scores for each child using the Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist (ATEC).

After 40 hyperbaric sessions, statistically significant improvements were observed on the ATEC scores (p < 0.001). The average improvement in all children were on the ATEC total score 21.8% (p < 0.001), speech/language/communication 15.8% (p < 0.001), sociability 21.9% (p < 0.001), sense/cognitive awareness 15.9% (p < 0.001), and health/physical fitness/behavior 31.6% (p < 0.001).
