What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This trial investigates whether adding vestibular stimulation—activities like swinging, trampoline jumps, and balance exercises—to standard physiotherapy improves gross motor function and mobility in children aged 6 to 12 with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. Participants receive either conventional physiotherapy alone or combined with vestibular stimulation. The study measures changes in motor skills, walking speed, and mobility using standard tests.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
vestibular stimulation (multi-directional swinging, trampoline jumps, rocking, gaze stabilization, visual pursuit, stretching, resistance exercises, balance training, movement transitions) plus conventional physiotherapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost addition to standard therapy that helps children with cerebral palsy move better and walk more easily.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 58 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The added exercises may not provide meaningful improvement over physiotherapy alone.
