About this study

The study aims to examine effectiveness of the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) on sensory, digestive, and eating behaviors in children currently receiving therapy.

Read the detailed description

The SSP consists of listening to a computer altered sequence of vocal music that has been processed to "exercise" the neural regulation of the middle ear muscles. Low and high frequencies are dynamically filtered and presented monaurally to both ears. The intervention stimuli are delivered through headphones or speakers. The protocol consists of 60 minutes of listening on five sequential days and is delivered via a music player device in a quiet room without major distractors.

For this study, parents or legal guardians of children already enrolled to complete the SSP intervention at Children's Therapy of Woodinville will complete a series of surveys. The SSP is used as a component of therapy across multiple diagnostic categories including autism spectrum disorders and sensory processing disorder. No specific diagnoses will be targeted in this design. Parents will be recruited for the study if their child is already enrolled to receive the therapy. Participating parents will be asked to complete online questionnaires using a survey link at three intervals: before the start of therapy, one week after completion, and 1 month after completion.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT05249270
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Safe and Sound Protocol ParticipantsParents of children receiving the Safe and Sound Protocol (a clinical auditory therapy provided outside of the study) will complete questionnaires to assess sensory behaviors prior to therapy initiation (baseline), 1 week after therapy conclusion, and 4 weeks after therapy conclusion. The SSP typically consists of 1 hour of listening per day, for 5 consecutive days. If modifications of the typical dosage are implemented due to client needs, they will be documented by parents in the 1 week post therapy questionnaire.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Sensory sensitivities

    Brain-Body Center Sensory Scales (BBC Sensory Scales) (parental questionnaire)

    Measured: Change from baseline to 1 and 4 week post assessment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Selective eating

    Brain-Body Center Sensory Scales (BBC Sensory Scales) (parental questionnaire)

    Measured: Change from baseline to 1 and 4 week post assessment

  2. Ingestive problems

    Brain-Body Center Sensory Scales (BBC Sensory Scales) (parental questionnaire)

    Measured: Change from baseline to 1 and 4 week post assessment

  3. Digestive problems

    Brain-Body Center Sensory Scales (BBC Sensory Scales) (parental questionnaire)

    Measured: Change from baseline to 1 and 4 week post assessment
