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 Results may not be published yet.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.
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 trial tests a new rehabilitation approach called Structured Graphic Motor Therapy (SGMT) for children with cerebral palsy who have arm movement challenges. SGMT uses guided drawing tasks that gradually become more complex, aiming to improve arm function, coordination, and precision. The study compares children who receive SGMT plus standard rehab to those who receive standard rehab alone over 16 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in arm movement quality and coordination to see if this drawing-based therapy offers extra benefits.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Structured Graphic Motor Therapy (SGMT), a therapist-guided drawing-based rehabilitation program
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could offer a new, engaging way to improve arm function and coordination in children with cerebral palsy, potentially enhancing their daily independence.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study, so results may not apply broadly. The therapy's benefit over standard rehab is unproven, and outcomes depend on each child's engagement and ability.

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: * Children aged 8 to 12 years. Confirmed diagnosis of cerebral palsy with unilateral or predominantly unilateral upper-limb motor impairment. Sufficient voluntary movement of the affected upper limb to grasp and manipulate a drawing instrument on a supported horizontal surface. Adequate visual, auditory, cognitive, and communication abilities to understand study instructions and complete standardized rehabilitation tasks. Ability to follow standardized two-step verbal commands. Written informed consent provided by a parent or legal guardian and age-appropriate assent provided by the child. Exclusion Criteria: * Uncontrolled epilepsy. Fixed upper-limb contracture preventing completion of the intervention tasks. Orthopedic surgery involving the upper limb within the previous 6 months. Botulinum toxin injection affecting the upper limb within the previous 6 months. Severe uncorrected visual impairment. Clinically significant upper-limb pain that interferes with task performance. Unstable medical condition that could interfere with participation. Participation in another intensive upper-limb rehabilitation program during the study period.
