Children autism treatment system containing olfactory stimuli

Abstract

The invention provides a method for treating children autism by cooperating virtual reality (VR), auditory stimuli and olfactory stimuli for individual difference between different patients. The method has the advantages of good patient tolerance, high matching degree and good treatment effect. A perilla extract and eugenol are screened from multiple aromatic extracts to serve as olfactory stimuliand have the advantages of mild aroma and good popularity among patients. The method adopts the perilla extract and the eugenol as the olfactory stimuli and is applicable to different autism patients.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of medical technology, and in particular relates to a treatment system for children with autism.

According to the definition of DSM-5, a new diagnostic standard for mental illness released by the American Association of Psychiatric Disorders, autism has two core impairments: 1. Deficits in social communication and social interaction; 2. Restricted and repetitive behaviors, interests or activities. Applying virtual reality technology to the research and intervention of children with autism is a key direction in the field of medical psychology research in recent years. At the end of the last century, Professor Strickland first proposed a new way of using virtual reality technology for pathological treatment and intervention in children with autism from the perspective ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Although the above-mentioned device has achieved certain effects, this method does not consider the individual differences of different autistic patients. The game system or correction system is a fixed program, which is pre-designed, and does not evaluate the individual situation of each patient. Individualized assessment not specifically addressed in treatment approach

[0008] Based on years of clinical experience in the field of autism rehabilitation treatment and research on existing technologies, the applicant found that the existing technologies still have at least the following technical problems: the existing methods of autism rehabilitation do not consider the individual characteristics of different autistic patients The treatment method does not specifically involve individualized assessment; virtual reality, auditory stimulation, and olfactory stimulation are all effective methods for treating autism, but there is no treatment plan that combines the above three methods well in the prior art
