CPAE Clinics for PANS and PANDAS

The PACE Foundation collaborates with leading medical institutions to establish a network of specialized clinics dedicated to diagnosing and treating CPAE disorders such as Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) and Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infections (PANDAS). These centers offer multidisciplinary care, combining expertise in neurology, immunology, psychiatry, and infectious diseases to provide comprehensive treatment for children affected by these complex neuroimmune disorders.

These clinics play a vital role in advancing the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of PANS and PANDAS. Each center brings together leading researchers and physicians who are dedicated to improving care for children affected by these complex neuroimmune disorders. By offering evidence-based treatments—including antibiotics, IVIG therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and integrative, holistic approaches—these clinics ensure that families have access to appropriate care. Their work is driving progress in research, refining diagnostic protocols, and helping children with PANS/PANDAS find hope and healing.
