Trial summary

This study was conducted to clarify the effect of vestibular education for autistic children on "sensory profile" and "postrotary nystagmus". In the study, the results of the two groups were compared through the treatment of sensory integration: the once who got the education and the once who did not. Read more about this study

Who may be able to join

  • The study included autistic children aged between 3 and 10 years (36 months, 11 years old) who were diagnosed with autism according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders criteria. The families of all children who participated in the study were informed and their written permissions were obtained.

The children who participated in the study had independent walking problems, those with lack of extremity, those with hip dislocation, those with postural anomalies, those who had an operation, those with infectious diseases, those with additional diagnoses with autism (such as cerebral palsy), patients with seizures, traumatic postpartum trauma, and motor development disorder. those with the postural disorder were not included in the study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Vestibular Rehabilitation on Sensory Profile and Postrotary Nystagmus in Autistic Children

This study was conducted to clarify the effect of vestibular education for autistic children on "sensory profile" and "postrotary nystagmus". In the study, the results of the two groups were compared through the treatment of sensory integration: the once who got the education and the once who did not. For this study, 26 autistic children were included who joined the " Çatalca District Unit of Disabled the Project of No Disabilities ", who was diagnosed with autism, who was 3-10 years (older than 36 months younger than 11 years). For each child, the analysis of the sensory integration and nystagmus was applied twice; at the beginning and at the end of the research. At the beginning of the research, the children were divided into two groups randomly drawn by lots. The first group was given the education of sensory integration with vestibular education and the second group was given the education of sensory integration without vestibular education. Both groups were educated for 10 weeks, 2 days a week with 40- minute sessions.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • The education of sensory integration with vestibular educationOther

    Tactical, proprioceptive, visual and auditory senses were used in sensory integrity training sessions. In this group, the training program on tactile, proprioceptive, visual and auditory sensory activities was carried out for 2 weeks and 40 minutes. Sensory integrity training was performed by the physiotherapist and in the sensory room.

    At the end of the training sessions, mothers were informed about the application of sensory integrity training to daily activities.Sensory integrity therapy room added tactile, proprioceptive, visual and auditory sensory materials as well as materials for vestibular sensation. Vestibular sensory materials, skateboard, swing, hammock, bowl, ball, ball pool, slide, climbing bar, trampoline, and balance board were used.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

sensory profile test (time frame: 10 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
