Animal Studies
Animal studies have shown that infusion of the Abs into the basal ganglia of rats produces abnormal behaviors. More recently, researchers at Columbia University demonstrated that passive transfer of the Abs is able to induce the abnormal movements and behaviors in recipient mice. Among PANDAS patients, high Abs concentrations are found in acute serum samples; Abs titers are decreased during periods of symptom remission. Sandy Georgia (Talk)  15:59, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Treatments
For treatment guidelines, refer to the PANDAS Physicians Network. PPN’s goal is to help medical professionals understand, diagnose and treat PANS and PANDAS. The network provides research, diagnostic, and treatment tools. PPN Guidelines for Diagnostics and Therapeutics are developed by PPN committees and advisors from the top academic medical institutions in the United States. The members have worked with, treated, and studied the patients and the disorder. PANS and PANDAS are interdisciplinary disorders, so the relevant disciplines are represented on the PPN committees and special advisory council. Some of the disciplines include: Psychiatrists, Pediatric Neurologists, Immunologists, Microbiologists, Rheumatologists, Geneticists, Otolaryngologists, etc. Sandy Georgia (Talk)  15:59, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Immunomodulatory Therapy Study
A placebo-controlled trial of plasmapheresis and IVIG for PANDAS was conducted at the NIH in the late 1990’s, with children randomly assigned (by the NIH pharmacy) to receive plasmapheresis (unblinded) or IVIG/sham IVIG (double blinded). At one month evaluations, placebo infusions produced no improvements in OC or tic symptoms, while 100% of the children receiving IVIG or plasmapheresis improved. The average improvement in OC symptoms was 45% for the group receiving IVIG and nearly 65% for the children receiving plasmapheresis. The results of the trial were sufficiently robust to cause the American Society of Apheresis to include plasmapheresis as a treatment option for PANDAS, as well as for Sydenham chorea.
