NCT ID NCT07278635

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This completed study tested whether adding sensory integration therapy to standard balance exercises could improve balance, thinking, and independence in 22 children with cerebral palsy aged 6 to 10. Participants were randomly assigned to 12 weeks of balance exercises alone or combined with sensory integration therapy. Researchers measured changes in balance, functional mobility, and cognitive performance before and after treatment.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a better rehabilitation approach for children with cerebral palsy, improving their balance, thinking skills, and daily independence.
