This review included 36 studies investigated the treatment efficacy of Chinese and homeopathic medicine for children with autism. This study aimed at (1) summarizing findings about therapeutic effect of Chinese medicine and homeopathy; (2) examining methodological quality of these studies; and (3) recommending further investigation and providing direction for future work. This study evaluated treatment effect of acupuncture, herbal medicine, Qigong, Tuina and homeopathic medicine for children with autism.
