Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience obsessions and compulsions similar to those specified in DSM-5 for obsessive compulsive disorder yet little controlled research exists on treating these behaviours. Thirty-seven children (7-13 years old) were randomly assigned to a 9-week functional behavior-based cognitive behavior therapy (Fb-CBT) or Treatment As Usual. Independent assessors administered measures pre- and post-treatment and at 6-months. Two primary outcome measures indicated statistically significant differences between groups, with large corrected effect sizes (Hedge's g = 1.00 and 1.15, respectively). This is the first known RCT to exclusively treat obsessive compulsive behaviors (OCBs) in children and youth with high functioning (IQ ≥ 70) ASD, and suggests that Fb-CBT treatment shows promise in decreasing these behaviors and improving quality of life. Trial Registration This trial was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (ID: NCT03123146).
自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)儿童存在着强迫观念和强迫行为,与 DSM-5 中强迫症的规定类似,但针对这些行为的治疗方法却鲜有对照研究。37 名儿童(7-13 岁)被随机分配到为期 9 周的基于功能行为的认知行为疗法(Fb-CBT)或常规治疗组。独立评估者在治疗前、治疗后和 6 个月时进行了评估。两项主要的结果指标表明,两组之间存在统计学上的显著差异,具有较大的校正效应量(Hedge's g 分别为 1.00 和 1.15)。这是第一项专门针对高功能(智商≥70)自闭症儿童和青少年的强迫行为(OCBs)的 RCT 研究,表明 Fb-CBT 治疗在减少这些行为和提高生活质量方面具有一定的潜力。
这项试验在 ClinicalTrials.gov 注册(ID:NCT03123146)。
