Autistic children showed significant symptom improvement following hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a sham-controlled trial, researchers here said.

Clinical Global Impression scores by investigators improved by 1.13 points in 30 children who received 40 one-hour sessions of hyperbaric therapy over a four-week period, compared with a 0.38-point improvement in 26 sham-treated children (P0.001), reported Daniel A. Rossignol, M.D., of the International Child Development Resource Center, and colleagues online in BMC Pediatrics.

Smaller but still significant improvements were seen in the treated children compared with the control group in parental Clinical Global Impression scores (1.30 compared with 0.83 points, P0.05), the researchers said.

Scores on the irritability subscale of the Aberrant Behavior Checklist - but not on four other subscales or the total score - also favored the treatment.
