[Transcranial micropolarization in the complex therapy of early child autism.]

Area of Science:

• Neuroscience
• Developmental Psychology
• Pediatrics

Background:

• Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) presents challenges in higher mental functions and communication.
• Early intervention is crucial for improving developmental trajectories in young children with ASD.
• The Human Brain Institute developed Transcranial Micropolarization (TCMP) as a potential therapeutic technique.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the efficacy of TCMP as part of complex therapy for children diagnosed with autism (ICD-10 F84.0).
• To assess TCMP's impact on the development of higher mental functions and communicative skills in young children with ASD.
• To investigate the influence of TCMP on speech comprehension and behavioral regulation.

Main Methods:

• TCMP was administered to 17 children aged 3-6 years with a diagnosis of autism.
• TCMP was integrated into a comprehensive therapeutic regimen.
• Outcomes were assessed by observing improvements in higher mental functions, communication, speech understanding, and behavior.

Main Results:

• TCMP significantly enhanced the formation of higher mental functions in children with autism.
• A substantial improvement in understanding addressed speech was observed.
• Positive changes in communicative skills and adequate behavior in various settings were noted.
• The therapy facilitated learning capabilities through improved regulation of adult speech.

Conclusions:

• TCMP, as part of complex therapy, shows significant promise in improving cognitive and communicative functions in young children with autism.
• Enhanced speech comprehension and behavioral regulation are key benefits observed with TCMP intervention.
• TCMP represents a valuable addition to therapeutic approaches for managing autism spectrum disorder in early childhood.
