EV0187 E-PosterChild and AdolescentPilot clinical study (uncontrolled, pre–post comparison) # Mobile app–supported music listening for sensory hypersensitivity in autism spectrum disorder: a pilot clinical study MOBILE APPLICATION–SUPPORTED MUSIC LISTENING FOR SENSORY HYPERSENSITIVITY IN AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER: A PILOT CLINICAL STUDY Presenter: Ami Yamasato Country: Japan Institution: Tokai University, Department of Health Management, Undergraduate School of Health Studies Following four weeks of mobile app–supported passive music listening, Sensory Profile total scores and visual/auditory sensitivity subscale scores decreased significantly in 17 children. The aim was to develop a mobile app enabling real-time assessment of distress alongside simultaneous music listening for sensory hypersensitivity, which is common in ASD and is associated with emotional distress and maladaptive behaviors, and to examine whether passive music listening reduces sensory hypersensitivity and related behavioral symptoms. During the development phase, numerical, facial expression–based, and verbal scale formats were compared in 10 participants aged 6–15 years; a five-point verbal scale was selected, and the app's functionality was tested in a three-day preliminary trial. The clinical phase enrolled patients diagnosed with ASD who were aged 6–15 years and had an intelligence quotient of 50 or above. Participants used the app in their daily lives for four weeks, and parents completed the Sensory Profile (SP) and the Japanese version of the Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC-J) before and after the intervention. Comparisons were performed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. All 17 participants for whom consent was obtained completed the study and were included in the analysis (14 [82%] boys and 3 [18%] girls). SP total scores decreased in 13 of the 17 participants, with a significant reduction in the total score (from 83.18 ± 27.27 to 76.00 ± 24.53; p = 0.004); among the subscales, visual/auditory sensitivity showed significant improvement (from 10.00 ± 5.33 to 8.35 ± 4.12; p = 0.014). Although ABC-J total scores decreased in 12 of the 17 participants, the difference did not reach statistical significance (from 44.0 ± 31.0 to 39.2 ± 28.5; p = 0.079), whereas a significant reduction was observed on the hyperactivity subscale (from 15.7 ± 11.3 to 13.5 ± 9.5; p = 0.030). The findings suggest that mobile app–supported passive music listening may help reduce sensory hypersensitivity and related behavioral symptoms in ASD and may offer an accessible, nonpharmacological intervention option.
