Hyperbaric treatment for children with autism a multicenter, randomized, double-blind Part 2

Results

After 40 sessions, mean physician CGI scores significantly improved in the treatment group compared to controls in overall functioning p = 0.0008, receptive language p 0.0001, social interaction p = 0.0473, and eye contact p = 0.0102 9-30 children 30% in the treatment group were rated as very much improved or much improved compared to 2/26 8% of controls p = 0.0471 24/30 80% in the treatment group improved compared to 10/26 38% of controls p = 0.0024. Mean parental CGI scores significantly improved in the treatment group compared to controls in overall functioning (p = 0.0336), receptive language p = 0..0168, and eye contact p = 0.0322. On the ABC, significant improvements were observed in the treatment group in total score, irritability, stereotypy, hyperactivity, and speech p 0.03 for each, but not in the control group. In the treatment group compared to the control group, mean changes on the ABC total score and subscales were similar except a greater number of children improved in irritability p = 0.0311. On the ATEC, sensory cognitive awareness significantly improved p = 0.0367 in the treatment group compared to the control group. Post-hoc analysis indicated that children over age 5 and children with lower initial autism severity had the most robust improvements. Hyperbaric treatment was safe and well-tolerated.

Conclusion

Children with autism who received hyperbaric treatment at 1.3 atm and 24% oxygen for 40 hourly sessions had significant improvements in overall functioning, receptive language, social interaction, eye contact, and sensory cognitive awareness compared to children who received slightly pressurized room air.

what the hell? I recently read a report of a study conducted by a reputable agency saying hyperbaric oxygen chambers have NO effect on autistics,
