Research Studies

Several preliminary research studies, including a randomized, controlled design study, have been conducted to date on the effectiveness of Qigong Sensory Training (QST) for autism spectrum disorder. At the end of five months of QST therapy, treated children show decreased sensory impairment and improved adaptive behaviors compared to the children in the control group. In addition, children with bowel and sleep problems improve. Furthermore, QST has been shown through studies to be associated with significant short-term improvements in adaptive functioning.
