Somatic and Autonomic Dysregulation as Pathophysiological Constraints on Higher Brain Function — Neuropsychological Outcomes After Manual Therapy for Axial Dysfunction with Secondary Autonomic Dysregulation: Results from 135 Children in Two Cohorts Aged 2–6 and 6–12 Years
American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology 2026 Annual Conference · Baltimore, Maryland, United States
This poster examined whether persistent somatic dysfunction and associated autonomic dysregulation may act as state-dependent constraints on higher neuropsychological functioning. The retrospective cohort comprised 135 children aged 2–12 years; parent-reported outcomes covered attention, sleep, anxiety, mood, and behavioural regulation.
