Autism is a congenital incurable disorder. The child's behavior and social adaptation are difficult to improve. Currently, the mainstay of autism treatment is non-medication, sometimes in combination with pharmaceuticals. The disease must be treated for many years, achieving some improvement, but not solving the problem completely. However, the results of medical care can be significantly improved with the help of stem cells. Studies show that their use has a long-lasting effect. After cell therapy, patients' behavior and social interaction improve. If you want to undergo stem cell treatment for autism in Germany, you can book for this procedure through the Booking Health website. We will help you choose a good German clinic with autism stem cell therapy.

Standard treatment for autism

 

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) cause deficits in social communication and interaction, repetitive patterns of behavior, activities, and interests. Other problems with autism are irritability, anxiety, aggression, mood lability, depression, and sleep disorders. This pathology affects 1% of the pediatric population.

So far, the possibilities of therapy for autism are limited. The main methods are:

  • Social skills training
  • Early intensive behavioral therapy
  • Speech therapy
  • Occupational therapy
  • Psychotropic medications
  • Transcranial magnetic stimulation

Many healthcare professionals use alternative methods: hyperbaric oxygenation, music therapy, cognitive and social-behavioral therapy. Scientists are constantly testing in clinical trials the effects of various remedies for autism: vitamins, herbs, essential oils and nutritional supplements, but they do not bring significant results. More promising methods include the use of the hormone oxytocin, gene therapy and stem cell (SC) therapy, which have demonstrated good results in clinical trials.

Evidence for the effectiveness of stem cells

 

Autism is caused by impaired neurodevelopment, inflammatory states and dysfunction of the immune system. Stem cells can normalize immune processes in the body, protecting the nervous tissue from damage, thus having a favorable effect on the course of autism.

Hundreds of studies have already been conducted, including dozens of good quality studies that prove the positive effects of SCs on the health and behavior of children with autism, without serious side effects.

A recent review by Laura Villarreal-Martínez et al. published in 2022 included 11 studies and 461 pediatric patients. The authors concluded that SCs improved communication, activities of daily living, socialization, and adaptive behavior. The most common side effects were fever, hyperactivity, vomiting, and headache.

A recent review by Jiayang Qu included only 5 studies, but of higher quality. Unlike the previous review, it excluded studies without placebo control. The authors also considered the use of SCs to be an effective and safe method of treatment, but noted that the methods of their use differed significantly, which makes it impossible to draw a definite conclusion about their effect on the course of autism and to develop a standardized treatment protocol.

How the treatment is carried out

 

Treatment varies from clinic to clinic, as the methodology of SC therapy for autism is not standardized. The sources of SCs are usually peripheral blood or bone marrow of the patient. SCs are administered intravenously or intrathecally: into the cerebrospinal fluid via lumbar puncture.

Although intrathecal administration of SCs is more traumatic, most studies suggest that this approach is more effective. When administered intravenously, less SC reaches the brain because of the blood-brain barrier, which separates the central nervous system from the rest of the vasculature.

A course of treatment involving multiple SCs injections is usually required. In the studies, the cells were injected at least twice. The effect was maintained for 12-18 months, which is how long the patients were monitored. It is possible that the results after SCs administration actually last much longer. Perhaps they modify the disease and have a favorable effect on the whole subsequent life of a person.

Where to get SCs treatment for autism

 

So far, SC treatment for autism is not considered a standardized methodology, and it is not widely used. Its approval is hindered by the lack of standardization of the treatment method. Different clinics use different types of cells, different doses, different ways of administration, frequency and number of infusions, etc. Autism itself is not a single disease that is the same in all patients, but dozens of different syndromes that differ significantly in their clinical course.

For these reasons, although most clinical trials show high efficacy of SCs, the scattered data do not allow the pooling of all this evidence to reach an unequivocal conclusion and develop a single treatment protocol.

Although stem cell transplant for autism is still considered a method used in clinical trials, there are more and more clinics in developed countries that offer this procedure. You can undergo stem cell therapy for autism in Germany, and the Booking Health team can help you choose a clinic.
