A recent randomized controlled trial (RCT) of a dual parent and trainer-delivered qigong massage intervention for young children with autism resulted in improvement of measures of autism as well as improvement of abnormal sensory responses and self-regulation. The RCT evaluated the effects of the parent-delivered component of the intervention. Forty-seven children were randomly assigned to treatment and wait-list control groups. Treatment group children received the parent-delivered program for 4 mo. Trained therapists provided parent training and support. Improvement was evaluated in two settings--preschool and home--by teachers (blind to group) and parents. Results showed that the parent-delivered program was effective in improving measures of autism (medium effect size) and sensory and self-regulatory responses (large effect size). Teacher data on measures of autism were confirmed by parent data. Results indicate that the parent-delivered component of the program provided effective early intervention for autism that was suitable for delivery at home.
一项最近的随机对照试验 (RCT) 研究了一种由父母和培训师共同提供的气功按摩干预措施，用于治疗自闭症儿童，结果显示该干预措施在自闭症评估指标上有改善，并且改善了异常的感官反应和自我调节能力。RCT 评估了干预措施中父母实施部分的效果。47 名儿童被随机分配到治疗组和等待名单对照组。治疗组的儿童接受了为期 4 个月的父母实施的方案。经过培训的治疗师为父母提供培训和支持。在幼儿园和家庭两个环境中，由教师（对组别无意识）和父母评估改善情况。结果表明，父母实施的方案在自闭症评估指标上有效（中等效果大小），并且在感官和自我调节反应上有效（大效果大小）。自闭症评估指标上的教师数据得到了家长数据的证实。结果表明，该方案中父母实施的部分为自闭症提供了有效的早期干预，且适合在家中进行。
