Summary

The Life University Center for Chiropractic Research is conducting a study to better understand the relationship between subjective stress measures and brain patterns during resting state and an auditory oddball task. A secondary aim is to evaluate the impact of a single session of chiropractic care on the resting state and P300 time locked response after a one-week wait period. An additional outcome assessment for this study will be the recording of an electrocardiogram (ECG) of each participant that will be used to analyze their heart rate variability (HRV). Eligible individuals will receive a physical exam to ensure safety during all procedures. They will then sit for a 6-minute resting state EEG and an auditory oddball task. They will complete a series of questionnaires assessing stress. They will receive a chiropractic adjustment using a handheld instrument called an Activator. They will return one week later for a follow-up assessment consisting of the 6-minute resting state EEG, auditory oddball task, and the questionnaires assessing stress.
