Use of hyperbaric chamber therapy in the treatment of autism in clinics in Israel and Georgia
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, НВОТ, is an important component of the treatment protocol for autism, which can be enhanced by other methods of conservative therapy:
- Drug treatment
- Psychotherapy
- Developmental techniques
- Physiotherapy
- Restrictive diet
- Social adaptation, etc.
It is important to note that oxygen therapy is contraindicated in autism, but scientists believe that hyperbaric oxygen therapy is effective because it increases cerebral perfusion. The partial pressure in the arteries increases at the moment of high-pressure oxygen inhalation in the decompression chamber, and that allows the brain to actively receive more oxygen.
Also, hyperbaric oxygen therapy for autism is characterized by an anti-inflammatory effect since it reduces the level of cytokines, reduces the consequences of mitochondrial dysfunction, and increases the synthesis of antioxidant substances. Therefore, the treatment of autism with a pressure chamber can be safely recommended as part of a complex supportive therapy for children with autism spectrum disorder and delayed psycho-speech development.
Israeli scientific research on ASD treatment with hyperbaric oxygen therapy
The new study with autistic patients was conducted in a pressure chamber. The results of this experiment were published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences.
It also showed that hyperbaric oxygen therapy not only supplies more oxygen to the brain and reduces inflammation, but also promotes social interaction among individuals. Thus, the patients showed interest in other participants after a course of sessions in the pressure chamber, while members of the second group, who did not undergo hyperbaric oxygenation, had the same level of social interest as at the beginning of the experiment.
This method is not new and has been used for a long time to cure different diseases, but relatively recently it began to be prescribed for the treatment of ASD.
Mardaleishvili Medical Centre is a well-known clinic in Georgia that provides more effective treatment for autism compared to a pressure chamber.
Stem cell transplantation for the treatment of children’s autism
The hyperbaric oxygen therapy procedure can give relatively positive results, but this method is not a panacea and cannot radically affect the pathogenesis of the disease. In Israel, Georgia, and other countries with a developed medical system, cell therapy has long been used to treat autism spectrum disorder in children, and numerous examples of implemented procedures have proven its high effectiveness.
The cost of medical services in Israel is slightly higher than in Georgia, so it is best to undergo a stem cell transplant in Georgia. It is worth noting that its quality here is similar to the level of efficiency in other countries. It has a significant advantage over other methods — it restores the correct structure of the brain at the cellular level. It does not directly combat the symptoms but, to a certain extent, eliminates the root cause of the disease. As a result, the symptoms become less evident, especially if the achieved effect is consolidated by developmental exercises and physiotherapeutic procedures.
