Abstract

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder which has multifactorial etiology. Parents of children diagnosed with ASD often use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) on the grounds that they do not benefit from traditional medical treatments. In this article it is aimed to clarify the definition of CAM, to examine the prevalence of the use of CAM in ASD, to examine the CAM interventions and their efficacy used in ASD, and to review the studies about use of CAM among children diagnosed ASD in Turkey. For this purpose, publications in the Science Citation Index (SCI) and SCI-Expanded, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, DergiPark, TÜBİTAK/ULAKBİM-Turkish Medical Index, Turkish Psychiatry Index and Turkish Medline indexes were reviewed. Although current data on the effectiveness of CAM is limited, considering the usage rates, physicians should be informed about CAM interventions, clearly ask about the use of CAM and share information on the subject.

Özet

Otizm Spektrum Bozukluğu (OSB) etyolojisinde birden fazla faktörün rol aldığı nörogelişimsel bir bozukluktur. OSB tanılı çocukların ebeveynleri geleneksel tıbbi tedavilerden yeterince fayda sağlayamadıkları gerekçesiyle sıklıkla tamamlayıcı ve alternatif tedavilere (TAT) yönelebilmektedir. Bu gözden geçirme yazısında TAT kavramının tanımı, kullanım yaygınlığı, OSB’de kullanılan TAT yöntemleri ve etkinliklerinin incelenmesi ve ülkemizde OSB’li çocuklarda TAT kullanımı ile ilgili çalışmaların gözden geçirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. TAT uygulamalarının OSB’de etkinliklerine dair güncel veriler sınırlı olmakla birlikte kullanım oranları göz önüne alındığında hekimlerin TAT yöntemleri hakkında bilgi sahibi olmaları, ailelerle TAT kullanımını açık bir şekilde sormaları ve bilgi paylaşımında bulunmaları gerekmektedir.
