Essential Oils for Enhancing of Quality of Life in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Reconnect and Coconut oil Comparator for Autism Spectrum Disorder and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 28 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Essential oils (aromatic oils extracted from plant parts) are routinely used by the public and are available on the market. Investigators are conducting this study because it is unknown whether the essential oils formulations will be safe and effective for improving quality of life in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) by helping them relax and sleep. Children invited to participate in this study must be between 3-9 years of age and have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Twenty eight children and their families will be enrolled in the study. Participants will try two different fragrant oils in a double-blind randomized order. Each child will receive each treatment for 3 months, with a 1-month "washout" period in between during which no oil is used.
