A Randomized Double-Blind Sham-Controlled Trial To Evaluate The Treatment Efficacy of Magnetic Resonant Therapy in Autistic Disorder
The purpose of this study is to show that a magnetic field applied to the front part of the
brain of children suffering from Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD) can improve function and
ameliorate symptoms.
brain of children suffering from Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD) can improve function and
ameliorate symptoms.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Primary diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder by DSM-IV-TR rendered by the examination
and sufficient CARS-2 score to qualify as autism.
- CARS score between 36 and 47 inclusively
- Age between 4 and 12 years (at day of informed consent)
- Child must suffer disrupted sleep patterns defined as a minimum of 3 nights per week
of delayed onset of sleep or night-time awakenings. If these are medicated with mild
sedatives or melatonin and corrected, the requirement for medication or melatonin will
qualify as evidence of a sleep disorder.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Diagnosis of Asperger's Disorder, Pervasive Developmental Disorder Not Otherwise
specified
- History of clinically significant traumatic brain injury
- Any condition associated with increased intracranial pressure
- Cerebral Aneurysm
- Down's Syndrome or other chromosomal abnormality
- EEG abnormalities that indicate seizure risk
- Intracranial implant
- Unstable medical condition not otherwise specified
- Clinically significant organic disease unrelated to autism
