A retrospective report describing transcranial PBM in children with autism; an early observational contribution to the pediatric literature.
What to keep in mind
Retrospective observations cannot establish cause and effect. Selection bias, other treatments and the absence of randomized controls limit conclusions about benefit and safety. Findings are preliminary, not a validated home-treatment protocol.
Research information is not a prescription. Long-term pediatric transcranial PBM safety is not established by these studies; adult evidence is not a substitute for pediatric evidence. Use only under qualified clinical guidance, with device-specific safety review.
