Official title
The Effects of Spinal Manipulative Therapy and Neuromuscular Reeducation on the Presentation of Autistic Symptoms in Children
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study explores the effectiveness of chiropractic and neuromuscular reeducation as complementary and alternative medicine treatment approaches for autism. Our investigation maintains the following three hypotheses: 1. Spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) will reduce the presentation of autistic symptoms in children. 2. Spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) in conjunction with neuromuscular reeducation will reduce the presentation of autistic symptoms in children. 3. The presentation of autistic symptoms in children will significantly differ between the treatment groups of spinal manipulative therapy and spinal manipulative therapy in unification with neuromuscular reeducation.
