Comparing sensory processing in children with eosinophilic esophagitis and typical development

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates sensory processing abilities in children diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) compared to typically developing peers. It focuses on understanding how sensory processing issues may contribute to feeding dysfunction and dysphagia in children aged 3 to 10 years. By assessing sensory integration, the study aims to identify differences that could inform better management strategies for EoE. The research is conducted at Gazi University in Ankara, Turkey.
