Xenon Therapy for Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Xenon: Children aged 4-18 with autism spectrum disorder inhaled a mixture of 25% Xenon via a face mask at an oxygen flow rate of 2 L/min, for 10 minutes per day for 10 day.
Study summary
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of inhaled xenon for the treatment of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The primary objective is to determine whether short-term inhalational xenon therapy can improve social functioning in children with ASD, as measured by changes in the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS). Safety and tolerability of xenon inhalation in the pediatric population will also be assessed.
In this randomized, placebo-controlled trial, participants will receive either inhaled xenon or a placebo gas (medical air without xenon) to compare treatment effects.
Participants will:
Inhale 25% xenon or placebo for 10 minutes per day for 10 consecutive days Attend two clinical visits: one immediately after completion of the intervention and one at 3 months post-intervention for follow-up assessments and safety evaluations
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Core symptom outcomes — From enrollment to the end of treatment at 3 months.
For the assessment of core symptom outcomes, the social responsiveness scale, Second Edition was used.Raw scores were converted to age- and sex-normed T-scores, with a minimum obtainable T-score of 30. A total T-score of 60 or higher indicates clinically significant symptom severity, whereas T-scores of 59 or below are considered within the normal range.
