Brief Summary

Feeding dysfunction and/or dysphagia are the main symptoms of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Also, these symptoms may be a part of sensory processing disorders. Therefore, the present study compared sensory processing abilities between children with EoE and typically developing (TD) controls.

Conditions

Eosinophilic Esophagitis; Sensory Disorder

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Sensory Profile

  The questionnaire has 125 items that represent 14 functions of sensory processing and allows parents to report on their child's behavior. The questionnaire uses a five-point rating scale, with a score of '1' indicating always or 100%, '2' indicating frequently or at least 75%, '3' indicating occasionally or 50%, '4' indicating seldom or 25%, and '5' indicating never or 0%. Six categories defined by the Sensory Profile are related to sensory processing areas, while five categories relate to sensory modulation, and the last three categories reflect social-emotional responses related to sensory processing. The test also provides nine sensory profile factor scores that reflect sensory processing styles.

Study Arms (2)

Children with Eosinophilic Esophagitis

Children with Eosinophilic Esophagitis The first group will consist 30 children with definite EoE diagnoses who were between ages 3 and 10 years. The Sensory Profile will used to evaluate sensory processing. This questionnaire will be completed by parents who record a child's responses to sensory events in daily life.

Diagnostic Test: Sensory Profile

Children with Typically Developing

Typically Developing Children The second group will consist of 30 children with typically developing who were between ages 3 and 10 years. The Sensory Profile will used to evaluate sensory processing. This questionnaire will be completed by parents who record a child's responses to sensory events in daily life.
