PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: After 12 weeks of growth hormone therapy

The full Sensory Profile has 125 items and the short version contains 38 items. Parents use a Likert scale to rate how frequently their child demonstrates a particular behavior (ranging from 1 = always to 5 = never). Total scale for the Short Sensory Profile 38-190, with a lower score indicates greater deviation from typically developing children and indicates more sensory reactivity symptoms. Subscales Tactile (7-35) Taste / Smell (4-20) Movement (3-15) Sensation (7-35) Auditory (6-30) Low Energy / Weak (6-30) Visual / Auditory (5-25)

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: After 12 weeks of growth hormone therapy

Population: Data not collected due to pandemic.

a clinician-administered assessment and corresponding caregiver interview that is not dependent on verbal or cognitive ability and is therefore appropriate for severely affected or nonverbal individuals with PMS. Responses are rated by a trained examiner on an algorithm. Scores are dichotomous, 0 (not present) or 1 (present) and are based on a summary of observed sensory behaviors throughout the duration of the observation. A total SAND score ranging from 0 to 90. Higher scores represent a higher level of sensory reactivity symptoms.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: After 12 weeks of growth hormone therapy

Population: Data not collected due to pandemic.

A noninvasive technique to evaluate the functional integrity of visual pathways in the brain from the retina to the visual cortex via the optic nerve/optic radiations. The VEP is recorded from the head's surface, over the visual cortex, and is extracted from ongoing EEG through signal averaging. VEPs reflect the sum of excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic potentials occurring on apical dendrites (Zemon et al., 1986) which modulate excitatory and inhibitory signals received by the pyramidal cells.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 12 weeks of growth hormone therapy

Population: Data not collected due to pandemic.

AERP is useful for characterizing early processing of auditory tones and habituation to rapidly repeated stimuli as in speech processing. AERP amplitudes are measured at 12 weeks and compared to baseline.
