Louisville, Ky. (WHAS11) – Doctors at the University of Louisville are using magnets to help lessen autism symptoms.

With the help of a grant from the National Institutes of Health, researchers will conduct a 4-year clinical trial combining magnetic therapy with behavioral therapy.

A pilot study at U of L shows that using a particular type of magnetic field near the brain can lessen the symptoms of autism.

The researchers are looking for autistic children to take part in the clinical trial.
