About this study

Official title: An Investigation Into the Outcome of NAET Treatment on Children With Allergy-Related Autism Spectrum Disorders in a Multi-Clinical Setting.

  1. Purpose of this study is to determine whether NAET procedures are effective in the treatment of children with allergy-related autism spectrum disorders in restoring their verbal and nonverbal communication.
  2. Hypothesis: Children in the experimental group will show a significant improvement over the control group in verbal and nonverbal communication as most food allergen groups, environmental allergen groups, childhood immunizations, and some other relevant allergenic substances are desensitized in a systematic way using NAET® procedures within the specified period of study.

According to NAET theory, autism is a nutritional deficiency disorder causing biological, neurological and developmental problems in children. The nutritional deficiency is caused by poor digestion, absorption, assimilation and utilization of essential nutrients due to allergies. NAET is the only treatment known so far that is able to eliminate allergies permanently allowing the sufferer to live a normal life once again. NAET is a blend of medical knowledge and non-invasive painless, holistic treatment procedures that is able to eliminate various levels of sensitivities and allergies permanently to the treated allergens. In the past 22 years of our clinical practice, we have not seen any adverse reactions with NAET, if it is applied properly by a trained NAET practitioner.

Who may be eligible to take part?

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Improvement in verbal and norverbal communication (time frame: Twenty-four months from the starting date (approximately may 2008)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00277407.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
