Study Summary

The hypothesis of the study is that photobiomodulation reduces symptoms of autism. Participants will be children between the ages of 2 and 6, who have been diagnosed with moderate to severe autism. Transcranial photobiomodulation will be administered to the children in the experimental condition twice a week for 8 weeks. Results will be measured through parental interviews, standardized CARS2 (Childhood Autism Rating Scales, 2nd Edition) and data collected from EEG.

Primary Outcome

Childhood Autism Rating Scales, Second Edition (CARS, 2nd Edition), patients were evaluated after conclusion of the study. CARS is a validated clinical rating scale that can be used by a trained clinician to rate items indicative of ASD after direct observation of the child. The scale consists of fifteen items that correspond to the different core domains (e.g., verbal communication, emotional response, and relationships with people) that can be affected by ASD. Total score (sum of all 15 sub
