Abstract:
Objective To explore the effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with comprehensive rehabilitation therapy in children with autism.Methods A total of 120 children with autism who were admitted to Department of Rehabilitation Medicine,Nanjing Tongren Hospital from July 2020 to June 2023 were randomly divided into control group(60 cases,conventional rehabilitation therapy)and research group(60 cases,transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with comprehensive rehabilitation therapy).The scores of Psychoeducational Profile Third Edition(PEP-3),Autism Treatment Evaluation Checklist(ATEC),Autism Behavior Checklist(ABC),Childhood Autism Rating Scale(CARS)were compared between the two groups.Results PEP-3 scores in all dimensions were increased in both groups after 6 months of treatment,and the scores in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group(all P<0.05).The scores of ATEC in all dimensions,CARS score,and ABC score were decreased in both groups after 6 months of treatment,and these scores in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group(all P<0.05).Conclusion Transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with comprehensive rehabilitation therapy can help to ameliorate core symptoms of children with autism.It is worthy of clinical promotion.
