Sensory modulation interventions for adults with mental illness: A scoping review.

Introduction: Sensory Modulation Interventions (SMI) assist people with mental illnesses to regulate emotional and physiological arousal. We aimed to conduct a scoping review to identify the study designs, geographical distribution, modality/regimen, barriers and facilitators in using SMI for individuals with mental illnesses.

Methods: A systematic search was conducted using Arksey and O'Malley's framework with studies published on SMI from January 2010 to November 2020.
