Chiropractic for Kids With Sensory Processing Challenges
This observational study is looking at chiropractic care for children aged 5 to 12 years who have sensory processing challenges. The main goal is to see if it's practical to use a new set of assessments alongside regular chiropractic care in a real-world setting. Researchers will also look for any changes in how children feel and their heart rate variability (a measure of how well the heart adapts to different situations). To join, children must be between 5 and 12 years old and have a Short Sensory Profile (SSP) score of 154 or less. Children with heart conditions or who have had chiropractic care in the last 30 days cannot participate. This study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 20 children.

What this trial measures
- Proportion of students enrolledFrom online screen submission to consent (up to 4 weeks)
Number of students enrolled, divided by the total number of eligible students identified via the online screen. This assesses 'Enrollment'
- Proportion of completed assessment sessionsFrom enrollment to end of trial participation (up to 12 weeks)
The number of completed ECG sessions, divided by the total number of scheduled ECG sessions (excludes sessions scheduled after withdrawal). This assesses 'Compliance'
- Proportion of students adhering to the care planFrom enrollment to the end of participation (up to 12 weeks)
The number of students attending at least 90% of their scheduled chiropractic care sessions, divided by the total number of students enrolled (excludes sessions schedule after withdrawal). This assesses 'Adherence'.
- Proportion of students retainedFrom enrollment to the end of the 12 week study period.
The number of participants attending the final ECG session, divided by the total number of students enrolled. This assesses 'Retention'.
