PANDAS & PANS Support
Families facing PANDAS/PANS need every supportive tool for the brain. Clarity offers Multi-Sensory Training (MST™), designed to support nervous-system regulation as a complement to the medical care your child receives.
Please Read This First
PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infections) and PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) involve an underlying infectious or immune process. This requires diagnosis and treatment by a physician — typically a PANDAS/PANS specialist, pediatrician, or immunologist — before or alongside anything else. Clarity does not diagnose, treat, or manage the underlying infectious or immune cause, and does not recommend starting, stopping, or adjusting any medical treatment.
Common Challenges With PANDAS/PANS
PANDAS/PANS is typically marked by a sudden, dramatic onset of symptoms, which may include:
- Sudden-onset OCD-type behaviors or severe anxiety
- Tics or motor symptoms
- Sudden mood swings, irritability, or aggression
- Regression in handwriting or motor skills
- Sensory sensitivity
- Sleep disturbances
- Difficulty with attention and behavior regulation
How MST™ Works With the Brain
MST™ helps the brain learn or relearn multi-sensory filtering. It simultaneously engages prescribed frequencies of colored light, vestibular (motion) stimulation, auditory stimulation, and somatosensory input, processed together at the brainstem and subcortical level. Once the underlying infectious or immune process is being medically managed, some families explore MST™ for the sensory-processing, attention, and nervous-system-regulation symptoms that can accompany PANDAS/PANS — the same general mechanism explored for ADHD-type focus challenges and anxiety.
The typical program is a 12-day in-office intensive (two 30-minute sessions per day), followed by an 18-day at-home continuation. Most people notice early changes before the program is complete, though the full effect is typically not apparent until around 90 days.
MST™ is not a stand-alone intervention. It is intended as an adjunct to a person’s overall care, and it is designed to provide a foundation for higher-level interventions (such as classroom instruction, speech, cognitive or occupational therapy, and tutoring) that presume a solid base of sensory processing. It works from the bottom up, at the subcortical level, on how the brain takes in input rather than on the output a person is asked to produce. These statements have not been evaluated by any regulatory authority and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
