Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The Safe & Sound Protocol (SSP) is a creative intervention based on the polyvagal theory for improving impairments in social communication by reducing auditory hypersensitivity and improving human speech processing (Associate Manual Safe & Sound Protocol. The SSP rehabilitates the function of middle ear muscles using filtered music adjusted to fit the specific frequency of human speech. The SSP thus improves social communication associated with auditory processing (Associate Manual Safe & Sound Protocol). Previous studies of children with ASD who used an early version of SSP reported significant improvements in their auditory problems, including auditory processing, listening, and hearing sensitivities This study aimed to evaluate, first, the effectiveness of SSP for social communication, auditory hypersensitivity, and psychiatric symptoms in adults with ASD.

Results

In this study, there were no significant differences in the total scores of SRS-2 across all time-points. Only SRS-2 Family-Report showed a significant improvement after the intervention. In addition, it was significantly correlated with physical health of WHOQOL-BREF (r = -0.577, p = 0.012), state and trait anxiety of STAI (r = 0.576, p = 0.012; r = 0.708, p = 0.00009), and CES-D (r = 0.465, p = 0.05).

Baseline Characteristics

Six participants with ASD aged 21 to 44 years (average age 27.1 years) were recruited from the outpatient Department of Neuropsychiatry of Okayama University Hospital. All participants were Japanese and diagnosed with ASD based on the ADOS-2 (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition).

Participant flow

Thid participants were recruited from Outpatient clinic of Okayama University Hospital. Before the study, all participants provided informed written consent.
Age, marital status, employment status, education, country of birth, and medical history were collected in face-to-face interviews to confirm that all participants met the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Adverse events

None

Outcome measures

The effects were evaluated using the Social Responsiveness Scale, Second Edition (SRS-2), as the main criteria. The secondary outcomes were determined using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, WHO Quality of Life 26, Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile, and heart rate variability.
