2016 OCT 8 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Pediatrics Week -- Current study results on
Developmental Diseases and Conditions - Autism Spectrum Disorders have been published. According to news
reporting originating in Toronto, Canada, by VerticalNews journalists, research stated, "Autism Spectrum Disorder
(ASD) is a common disorder that has a complex and heterogeneous etiology. Some evidence suggests that
inflammation and oxidative stress may have a pathophysiological link."
The news reporters obtained a quote from the research, "Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has been proposed as
a possible therapy. Because HBOT is an expensive treatment with significant commercial opportunity, it is
essential for it to have a research evidence base prior to widespread use. To conduct a systematic review of the
literature evaluating the clinical impact of HBOT on behavior and development in ASD with a view to inform
practice. A literature search of electronic scientific databases focusing on clinical outcomes of HBOT in ASD was
performed. Articles meeting inclusion criteria were independently assessed by reviewers and were classified
according to the American Academy of Neurology Guidelines. Recommendations were made based on the
evidence. Five articles were reviewed with data extraction. Based on the AAN Classification of Recommendations
the data supported a rating of 'A', indicating that HBOT is not effective for treating children and youth with ASD."
According to the news reporters, the research concluded: "Current evidence does not support HBOT as an effective
treatment for children and youth with ASD."
