Biological Methods for Correcting Autism

 

This group of methods is collective, and includes different types of therapy aimed at improving the functioning of the child’s brain and body. Mardaleishvili Medical Centre is a well-known clinic in Europe which effectively treats autistic children, giving them the opportunity to arrange their lives in the future; and to be sociable, socially active, and teachable, practically without differences from their peers.

Biological approach to autism treatment

• Stem cell treatment

Today, this is the most promising and effective procedure for correcting ASD. Its core is in correcting genetic defects of the brain using a child’s own stem cells obtained from the umbilical cord blood or bone marrow. Stem cells are constructional units of the body that enter the brain of an autistic child and replace pathologically altered cells with “healthy” ones in the cerebellum, cortex and limbic system, resulting in a partial cure of autism.

No other method has such an impact. However, it cannot be said that other methods are ineffective — on the contrary, they can consolidate the achieved therapeutic effect and control pathogenesis of the disease for a lifetime. Cell transplantation is effective both in early childhood and adolescence. If there no cord blood was stored at the birth of a child, necessary biomaterial can be obtained from a patient’s bone marrow or the umbilical cord blood of a patient’s sibling.

• Drug therapy

Drug therapy acts as an auxiliary method in autism spectrum disorder treatment or rehabilitation. Drugs are prescribed only in a comprehensive protocol, including procedures and methods of psychological, physiotherapeutic, and pedagogical support.

Its main goal is to suppress or eliminate symptoms that negatively affect the development of the body, a child’s learning ability, and social activity. Among such undesirable manifestations are stereotypy, aggression, motor retardation, depression, negativism, etc. Drugs stimulate brain activity, normalise the functioning of the central nervous system, and activate thinking and memory processes.

Thus, nootropic drugs, antidepressants, tranquillizers, antipsychotics, and herbal medicines can be prescribed.

• Physiotherapy

The use of physiotherapeutic procedures is an important part of the therapeutic protocol for treating an autistic child.

Medicamentous electrophoresis is a common procedure in medical practice. There is a wide range of medications that allow patients to choose the right one for themselves. Most often, medications are prescribed to improve the condition of blood vessels: magnesium, nicotinic acid, aminophylline, as well as sulfur-, zinc-, and copper-bearing drugs, etc.

Magnetic therapy is a procedure based on the effect of a low-intensity magnetic field on the patient’s body. This treatment relieves an increased tone of brain vessels, makes metabolism complete, and improves blood supply. All these effects prevent the occurrence of oxygen starvation and improve brain activity.

Photochromotherapy is a treatment with light from an individually selected colour spectrum. Physiotherapists can balance the process of excitement or inhibition of the central nervous system, eliminate vascular tone, normalise emotional background, improve metabolic processes, fight insomnia, and achieve anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.

Laser therapy is a modern procedure prescribed for dilating narrowed blood vessels, eliminating muscle spasms, and improving local blood circulation.
