Summary

This small study tested a monthly immune treatment (IVIG) for 6 months in 10 children aged 4–17 with PANS, a condition causing sudden severe OCD, anxiety, or food refusal. Researchers measured changes in symptom severity and daily functioning. The goal was to see if IVIG is safe and helps control symptoms, but it is not a cure.
