Participants must be between 18 and 35 years of age. Within the past six months individuals may not participate if they have had any broken bones, accidents, or surgeries to their spine. Additionally, participants cannot have any mental disabilities, be pregnant, or have other conditions of the spine such as bone mineral loss.\n\nPatients will receive a chiropractic exam and will be randomized to a sham (simulated chiropractic adjustment) or chiropractic adjustment intervention group. Prior to receiving either the sham or chiropractic adjustment, the participants will sit in front of a computer screen and will be asked to follow instructions and press a button on a keypad. There will be three different types of computer assessments that will take approximately fifteen minutes total. After the computer assessments the participant will receive either the sham or chiropractic adjustment. The chiropractic adjustment and the sham will both utilize a handheld instrument called an Activator. After the adjustment or sham the participant will take the computer assessments again. The total time this may take is ninety minutes.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '35 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': True, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age 18 to 35\n* In good health\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* pregnant\n* medically diagnosed cognitive deficits\n* medically diagnosed learning disabilities\n* fractures, traumas, or surgeries to the spine within the past six months\n* diagnosed osteoporosis, articular instability'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT02749266', 'briefTitle': 'The Impact of Chiropractic Activator Adjustments on Mental Rotation and Line Judgment Reaction Time', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Life University'}, 'officialTitle': 'The Impact of Chiropractic Activator Adjustments on Mental Rotation and Line Judgment Reaction Time: A Pilot Study', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'I-0011'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Chiropractic Activator Adjustment', 'description': 'Participant will receive a chiropractic adjustment utilizing a handheld chiropractic instrument called an Activator.', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Chiropractic adjustment']}, {'type': 'SHAM_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Chiropractic sham adjustment', 'description': 'Participant will receive a sham (simulated) chiropractic adjustment utilizing a handheld chiropractic instrument called an Activator.', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Sham chiropractic adjustment']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Chiropractic adjustment', 'type': 'OTHER', 'otherNames': ['Chiropractic Activator adjustment', 'Chiropractic manipulation'], 'description': 'Participant will receive a chiropractic adjustment utilizing a handheld chiropractic instrument called an Activator.', 'armGroupLabels': ['Chiropractic Activator Adjustment']}, {'name': 'Sham chiropractic adjustment', 'type': 'OTHER', 'otherNames': ['Sham manipulation'], 'description': 'Participants will receive a simulated chiropractic adjustment with a handheld adjusting instrument called an Activator.', 'armGroupLabels': ['Chiropractic sham adjustment']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '30060', 'city': 'Marietta', 'state': 'Georgia', 'country': 'United States', 'facility': 'Life University', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 33.9526, 'lon': -84.54993}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Stephanie Sullivan, D.C.', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Life University'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Life University', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'collaborators': [{'name': 'University of Georgia', 'class': 'OTHER'}], 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
