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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 study compares two physical therapy approaches—Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) and the Bobath method—in 58 children with spastic cerebral palsy. The goal is to see which therapy better improves motor skills, balance, and trunk control over 12 weeks. Children will be assessed at the start, middle, and end of the program.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Dynamic Movement Intervention (task-specific exercises) and Bobath therapy (neurodevelopmental treatment)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that Dynamic Movement Intervention is more effective than standard Bobath therapy for improving movement and trunk control in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 58 children, so results may not apply to all. It compares two therapies, so neither may prove clearly better.
