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 This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This observational study will check if breathing strength and lung function are linked to hand use in 37 children aged 6–18 with hemiparetic cerebral palsy. Participants do simple breathing tests and hand skill tasks in one clinic visit. The goal is to see if rehab programs should train breathing and hand skills together.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If links are found, it could point to new rehab programs that combine breathing and hand exercises for children with cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early observational study with only 37 participants. It does not test any treatment, so results may not lead to direct changes in care.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Children and adolescents aged 6-18 years with a physician-confirmed diagnosis of hemiparetic cerebral palsy, recruited from outpatient pediatric rehabilitation clinics and physiotherapy centers. Participants will be individuals receiving routine follow-up or rehabilitation services who meet the study eligibility criteria and are able to complete respiratory and hand function assessments.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Confirmed diagnosis of hemiparetic cerebral palsy by a physician. * Sufficient cognitive ability to understand and follow test instructions, as judged by a parent or clinician. * Clinically stable condition for at least 3 months, with no changes in medication, acute exacerbations, or modifications in rehabilitation programs. * Physical capacity sufficient to tolerate pulmonary function testing (spirometry), maximum inspiratory/expiratory pressure (MIP/MEP) measurements, and other study assessments. Exclusion Criteria: * Current or recent acute respiratory infection, asthma exacerbation, pneumonia, or known cardiopulmonary disease that may affect testing. * Receipt of intensive upper extremity interventions other than routine physiotherapy (e.g., botulinum toxin injections, surgical procedures) within the past 6 months. * History of major orthopedic surgery (e.g., hip reconstruction, scoliosis surgery) within the past 3 months. * Severe musculoskeletal contracture or deformity that prevents the safe performance of pulmonary function testing. * Severe epilepsy, uncontrolled seizures, or other neurological conditions that may compromise safety during testing.
