Studies have shown that the increase in the number of children, who has been diagnosed with autism. So far, doctors have not found a cure for this disease, it's the reason why some parents want to experiment with other forms of treatment and acupuncture is an example.
Acupuncture is a holistic approach to the treatment and prevention of certain diseases. The most important instrument are very fine needles are placed on specific points of the body. The body has about 400 of them, thanks to a system called meridians or interconnected ways. As soon as they encouraged this balance in the body.
Autism is a disorder of the brain long term. This disease is characterized by deficits in language, social communication and cognition. Children who are diagnosed with this disease can also secondary problems such as aggression, irritability, stereotypes, hyperactivity, negativism, volatile emotions, temper tantrums, short attention span and obsessive compulsive behavior.
Preliminary studies have shown that acupuncture can provide symptomatic relief for children with autism. Although difficult at first, we think that in the long run. This is because although the treatment and conventional therapy requires that the child still continue, acupuncture does not work. Some say that there is a quick buck on the essential points of the body.
A group of children in the United States was a test to see effective acupuncture in children. There are 22 respondents and each of them got the treatment once a day for four months.
After treatment of 20 of the 22 respondents have shown remarkable progress. In fact, two of them cerebral blood flow. Only, not to treat and after change blood flow between the cerebral cortex left and right, has already showed no difference.
Try to help in addition to traditional acupuncture, children with autism a preliminary study in Hong Kong to see if the best tongue acupuncture can be achieved.
Results have, in test, majority showed respondents from 30 functional improvement of varying degrees depending on the age and severe their disabilities. Some improvements fell within a few meetings of TAC, especially for the drooling, spasticity (risk of cuts or toes), ataxia and record of the poor in very noticeable. Functional improvement after one or two course units of TAC. Most children tolerated TAC now, only the occasional pain and small bleeding in some patients.
The reason why acupuncture language is experienced, is because there is a link between the language and the heart through the meridians, in the field of all organs of the body. It is thought that points on the language can affect the State of the other organs of the body, relief for those with autism.
But many think that persons who suffer can not help Autism acupuncture. It must be combined with other things like maintaining a certain diet to the atmosphere and the communication from the schools. Although only in the short term, it is better than nothing, all the way up to a treatment is found.
When will the treatment be found? Therefore there are many other issues to understand the in order for doctors to other neurological disorders, only time can tell are answered. Doctors study think that an interdisciplinary approach is necessary because acupuncture positive results, to help children with autism has shown.
