There's a very recent paper on PeerJ (hooray, open access), perhaps not what one would call "scientific backing" in the strongest sense, but more a study aiming to establish the scope of the phenomenon, and relate it to other aspects of perceptual experience - through survey of self-reported ASMR experiencers: Barratt & Davis, 2015
Full survey data is also provided as supplemental information (see the link above) in case anyone wants to do some deeper digging.
