Clinical Trial Summary

Effects of Ayres Sensory Integration Therapy Versus Conservative Treatment in Autism Spectrum

Description:

"This study named effects of ayres sensory integration therapy versus conservative treatment in autism spectrum is a randomized clinical trail study.There is no evidence-based intervention protocol to treat sensory integration dysfunction in autism spectrum. This study may help finding best therapeutic treatment approach for sensory integration dysfunction results in repetitive behavior and impairments in functionality in autism spectrum.This study helps - To evaluate best intervention plan for sensory integration dysfunction, Ayres sensory integration therapy versus conservative treatment in autism spectrum. - To determine how many patients will be having what type of sensory integration dysfunction that come with autism spectrum leading to certain level of functional restrictions in Activity of Daily Livings (ADLs). - Which type of sensory integration dysfunction having greater functional impairment and need to be focused more for intervention? - To make better individualized rehabilitation treatment plan being an Occupational Therapist."

Intervention

Diagnostic Test:
• Ayres sensory integration therapy
A. Jean Ayres, is a theory and practice that targets a person's ability to process and internally integrate sensory information from their body and environment. Sensory information may be visual, auditory, tactile, proprioceptive, and/or vestibular in nature. ASI uses individually tailored activities that utilize "just right" challenges to an individual's existing patterns of sensory processing and motor planning and encourage movement and organization of self in time and space. ASI incorporates specialized equipment and materials in purposeful and playful activities in order to improve adaptive behavior.
• Behaviour Therapy
The current treatment options for the core symptoms of autism are limited to psychosocial therapies, such as applied behavior analysis. Medications have been most effective in treating the associated behavioral symptoms of autism, though studies have examined potential benefits in some of the core symptoms of autism with certain medications, especially the repetitive behaviors often seen with this diagnosis. Risperidone and aripiprazole are currently the only medications FDA approved for symptoms associated with autism spectrum disorders, targeting the irritability often seen with this diagnosis.
