NCT ID NCT07350096
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a two-week intensive physiotherapy program could help children with spastic cerebral palsy improve their posture and ability to control their arms and legs. Thirty children aged 4 to 8 years took part, with half receiving the intensive program and half receiving standard therapy. The goal was to see if the extra therapy sessions led to better motor control and quality of life.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
intensive physiotherapy (neurodevelopmental therapy)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a more effective short-term therapy to improve posture and movement control in children with cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 30 children, so results may not apply to everyone. The intensive program is short (2 weeks), and long-term benefits are unknown.
