The Research Behind TouchPoints
TouchPoints are backed by real research — clinical trials, archival studies, and case reports — showing how BLAST® bilateral stimulation can support stress, attention, and everyday regulation.
The studies below span controlled trials, archival data, and real-world use — different kinds of evidence, all pointing to the same effect: BLAST® bilateral stimulation can make a measurable difference.
30-Second Stress Reduction
Clinical findings have shown meaningful reductions in stress in as little as 30 seconds. In one study, users experienced a 74% reduction in stress and a 68% reduction in stress-related body sensations within 30 seconds of use.

Clinical Study: Behavior Tracking
In a study of children ages 7–14 with autism and developmental delays, researchers tracked behaviors over one week without TouchPoints, then one week with the devices worn throughout the school day. Over the course of the study, tracked disruptive and self-harming behaviors decreased by an average of 72%.

Randomized Trial: Cortisol Under Stress
A triple-blind, placebo-controlled trial with athletes showed TouchPoints stabilized cortisol levels during stressful events, supporting the role of BLAST® technology in helping the body respond differently under pressure.

Poster: Stress Response in Children & Adolescents
In an archival study of children (ages 5–12) and adolescents (ages 13–17), self-reported units of stress distress decreased by an average of 78% in children and 72% in adolescents, with body sensation ratings decreasing by 70% and 66% respectively, following 30 seconds of TouchPoints use.

Case Study: Attention & Engagement
In a single case study, a 13-year-old with ADHD showed improved engagement in an attentional task by over 50% and improved attention by 27% while using TouchPoints — equivalent to an estimated 3.65 additional hours of sustained attention across a 7-hour school day.

What Families and Educators Are Saying
Real experiences from parents, teachers, and clinicians using TouchPoints every day.
“The boy she is fostering is non verbal and would hit himself. Since using these she can literally place them on him and see him calm before her eyes. It has been life changing.”
“Thankfully my son was a scholarship recipient. These have been great in helping him feel calmer so that he is not over-stimulated by the school environment. His self-regulation has improved considerably!”
“Bought these for my 9 yr old who has ADHD and anxiety. The first day she wore them to school her teacher emailed us saying how wonderful her day was and that she was able to get organized with her work and start without the teacher's help. She also uses TouchPoints when her emotions get out of control and she needs to calm down. I've been recommending these to everyone.”
“We are a school for children with Dyslexia, Autism and ADHD. Our students have been using TouchPoints and we see a big difference in their ability to focus and stay on task. Even processing speed seems to increase, helping our slower processors answer questions quicker.”
“My 8 year old son has Autism and recently started using TouchPoints. The first time I handed them to him to get a feel for it, he literally started breathing deeper and relaxed into his seat. It was kind of amazing. I'm excited to continue to see how they will benefit my son.”
“We were fortunate enough to get the scholarship program for my son with severe ADHD. These have been a godsend. He wears them a few times a day and it has reduced behaviors and anxiety related to his ADHD — they've even helped stop oncoming behaviors before they get a chance to start.”
These are individual experiences and should not be interpreted as evidence that every person will experience the same results.
