However, health experts do not see any rationality in the biology of these therapies, but some of them state that provides extra oxygen to the brain can improve comprehension.
Researchers from Florida have conducted an experiment to see the benefits of therapy and although this trial was not a big experiment, the researchers found the beneficial effects of oxygen therapy.
Dr. Daniel A. Rossignol from the International Child Development Resource Center in Melbourne, Fla.., and his colleagues studied 62 children aged 2-7 years at eight centers in the United States.
For a month, most of the children do 40 hours of therapy in which they are placed in a room that contains 24% oxygen at a pressure of 1.3 atmospheres. The other group did 40 hours of therapy in a room containing 21% oxygen at atmospheric pressure of 1:03.
The research team reports its findings in the journal BMC Pediatrics, the Saturday edition. They found that children who were treated experienced significant progress in several public functions, the system language, social interaction, eye contact and sensory awareness. The result is more apparent in children aged over 5 years and in those with mild cases of autism.
"We are not suggesting that this therapy produces healing, but if you can increase the understanding so that children do not run to the front of a car, or it can improve sleep, it is an advantage," says Rossignol.
Commercial hyperbaric chambers normally used to overcome the body bends for driving too fast and carbon monoxide poisoning. This therapy will cost approximately $ 120 - $ 150 per session. Some experts estimate that about 10% of children with autism in the United States are undergoing this therapy.
