What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 study looks at two different calf-stretching programs for adults with cerebral palsy who have tight calf muscles and walk slowly. Forty participants will be assigned to one of two stretching routines for one year. The goal is to see if either program can improve walking speed and muscle flexibility, and to understand how the muscles change.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Guided Self-Rehabilitation Contract (GSC) stretching program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a simple, home-based stretching routine that improves walking speed and reduces muscle stiffness in adults with cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The improvement may be modest, and the program requires a year of commitment.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 40 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

May 2022

Expected to finish

Nov 2029

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

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

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Hemiparesis or diparesis resulting from a cerebral lesion occurring during the perinatal period (cerebral palsy). * Gastrocnemius extensibility XV1 \< 100° (XV1, Tardieu Scale). * Maximum barefoot walking speed (AT10) between 0.3 and 1.2 m/s. * Written informed consent to participate in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Botulinum toxin injections in the medial gastrocnemius within less than 3 months prior to study inclusion. * Cognitive impairment preventing participation in the GSC program or in the study. * Patients under legal guardianship or conservatorship. * Known hemostasis disorders. * Hypersensitivity to allergens. * Presence of a metallic intraocular foreign body (accidental fragments or others), a pacemaker, a neurostimulator (pain treatment), a cochlear implant, or, more generally, any implanted electronic medical device that cannot be removed; presence of a metallic cardiac valve in the study participant.
