In this presentation we will define “PANS” and “PANDAS.” We will discuss how to diagnose these conditions and will present various therapeutic options ranging from antibiotics, steroids and IVIG to innovative and safe treatments. We will explore the link between PANS/PANDAS and Autism. Finally, we will use the discussion of PANS/PANDAS to show how alternative treatment options (including neuromodulation), using a multidisciplinary approach and following principles of the RESTO- RATION MODEL, can bring hope to special needs families.
