Chiropractic for sensory kids: hope or hype?

NCT ID NCT07256327

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This pilot study will test whether chiropractic care is feasible for 20 children aged 5–12 with sensory processing disorder. Researchers will measure how many kids can complete the assessments and stick with the care plan. They will also look for changes in heart rate variability and sensory symptoms, but the main goal is to see if a larger study is possible.

What this could lead to

If this pilot shows that chiropractic is feasible and potentially helpful, it could point toward a larger study testing whether chiropractic can ease sensory processing challenges in children.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early observational study with only 20 children and no control group. It is designed mainly to test feasibility, not to prove that chiropractic works for sensory issues.
