Sponsor's own description
This study investigates whether a structured physiotherapy program can help reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression in children and adolescents diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). ASD and ADHD are neurodevelopmental conditions often associated with emotional and behavioral challenges, including elevated levels of psychological distress. The physiotherapy intervention includes techniques such as diaphragmatic breathing, acupressure, relaxation exercises, proprioceptive activities, and therapeutic positions designed to support emotional regulation. Children aged 6-18 years are randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving the physiotherapy program or a control group receiving usual care. The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether this physiotherapy protocol can positively influence emotional well-being and behavioral indicators related to ASD and ADHD. Outcomes are assessed using validated questionnaires measuring stress, anxiety, depression, and disorder-related behavioral characteristics before and after the intervention.
