Axial Dysfunction and Neuropsychological Outcomes in Children: Effects of Noninvasive Treatment - Neuropsychological Outcomes After Manual Therapy for Axial Dysfunction with Secondary Autonomic Dysregulation: Results from 159 Children in Two Cohorts Aged 2-6 and 6-12 Years

Key Points

• To investigate the effects of manual therapy on neuropsychological outcomes in children with axial dysfunction and secondary autonomic dysregulation.
• Randomized trial conducted with 159 children aged 2-12 years, divided into two cohorts.
• Noninvasive manual therapy applied to children with identified axial dysfunction and autonomic dysregulation.
• Assessment of neuropsychological outcomes before and after treatment.
• Children receiving manual therapy showed significant improvement in neuropsychological outcomes compared to the control group.
• Positive clinical improvements observed in developmental milestones and behavior.
• Results suggest that noninvasive manual therapy may enhance the overall neuropsychological functioning in affected children.
