A modified Delphi study with 98 ASMR experts, practitioners, community members, and researchers generated 451 suggestions for research priorities, condensed into 13 key areas, including definition and measurement, neurophysiology, triggers, individual and cultural differences, therapeutic applications, and community culture. These were voted on by 70% of the initial participants using best/worst scaling. The resulting agenda maps important questions for the field and aims to inspire interdisciplinary collaborations.
