Transcranial Electrical Acupuncture Stimulation (TEAS) on the Treatment of Autism

Abstract

Many studies suggested that acupuncture or electrical acupuncture may improve the symptoms of autism. However, the efficacy of the treatment is not satisfied. To improve the existing methodology of acupuncture in treating autism, a concept of transcranial electrical acupuncture stimulation (TEAS) is proposed based on the primary clinical experiences and literature reviews.
