|
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report a case of one autism spectrum disorder child who was treated by Korean medicine treatment.
Methods: The subject was a male child with autism spectrum disorder. This patient was treated with oriental herbal medicine and acupuncture. The improvement was observed by K-CARS.
Results: Korean medicine treatment relieved an autism spectrum disorder child's symptoms. For example, emotional excitement, hyperactivity disorder and repetition behavior are improved. K-CARS score at the initial stage of the treatment was 48 points, which can be considered as severe autistic. After 27 months of the treatment, the K-CARS was 26 points which is not autistic. There was no side effect reported.
Conclusions: This study showed that Korean medicine can be an effective treatment option for autism spectrum disorder.
