Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Pilot study design that operationalizes the multimodal manner of care while evaluating changes in depression symptoms, dysmetria, and balance for medication non-responders.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Pilot study design that operationalizes the multimodal manner of care while evaluating changes in depression symptoms, dysmetria, and balance for medication non-responders. This research will provide an initial first step towards answering the following three research questions:

1. Does a multimodal chiropractic applied clinical neuroscience approach to care affect self-reported symptoms of depression?
2. Does a multimodal chiropractic applied clinical neuroscience approach to care affect dysmetria and balance control in a clinically depressed population?
3. Are changes in dysmetria and balance control correlated with a change in depressive symptoms.

Chiropractic Applied Clinical Neuroscience

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Chiropractic Applied Clinical Neuroscience makes use of chiropractic care in addition to application of therapies designed to stimulate multisensory reintegration and cerebellar coordination. The multisensory reintegration and cerebellar therapies make use of the body's own sensory receptors as a target, with the purpose of realigning the brain's interpretation of different afferent signals. Observation of motor and autonomic output patterns during and after sensory stimulation afford the clinician real-time feedback, providing for adaptation of the sensory based protocol.
