Assessment of Improvement for children with multiple

therapies
Side Effects:
• Generally we did not experience any adverse side effects of “Aculaser”
therapy except in case of two children, the frequency of fits did not
reduce.
Conclusions:
• Studies conducted all over the world indicate that unconventional
treatments such as Acupuncture, Acupressure, Laser Acupuncture and
Scalp Acupuncture show a very good success rate for the treatment of
children with multiple disabilities including C.P.
• The best results were in children of lesser age which signifies that
“Aculaser” therapy when instituted earlier gives better results.
• Group-5 children, who were given only “Aculaser” therapy have shown
appreciable improvement as compared to other children who were not
given this therapy.
• The other four groups were given other standard treatments along
with “Aculaser” therapy. These groups have also shown improvements
as compared to other children without “Aculaser” therapy.
Decisions By ArunaChetana
• It is proposed to continue “Aculaser” therapy for selected children for a
further period of 12 months.
Recommendation:
