Summary

This study is testing whether simple wearable devices can accurately screen for sleep disorders in children with cerebral palsy. About 140 children aged 6 to 15 will wear the devices at home and then undergo a standard hospital sleep test. The goal is to see if the wearable method can reliably identify children who need further sleep evaluation, potentially making screening easier and more accessible.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Connected tools (wearable sleep monitors)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could provide a simple, at-home screening method to identify children with cerebral palsy who need further sleep evaluation.
What could go wrong: This is an early-stage validation study with only 140 participants. The wearable devices may not be as accurate as hospital-based sleep tests, and results may not apply to all children with cerebral palsy.
