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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 whether doing arm exercises on a vertical surface (like a wall) or a horizontal surface (like a table) makes a bigger difference in hand skills and trunk control for children with bilateral cerebral palsy. Thirty children aged 5 to 8 will take part in a 3-month occupational therapy program. Researchers will measure changes in fine motor skills, upper limb function, and trunk stability.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Occupational therapy program (vertical or horizontal surface exercises)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that a simple change in exercise position (vertical vs horizontal) improves hand skills and trunk control more effectively for children with cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 children, so results may not apply to everyone. The difference between the two approaches may be small or not meaningful.

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 30 people

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

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Children with BSCP, their chronological age will be ranged from 5 years to 8 years. * Their level of motor function will be I or II according to Gross Motor Function Classification System - Expanded and Revised. * The degree of spasticity for these children will ranged from grade 1 to 1⁺ according to Modified Ashworth Scale. * Their level of fine motor function will be I or II according to The Bimanual Fine Motor Function. * All children's level of segmental trunk control will be level 7 (full trunk control) according to Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control. * They will be able to follow instructions during evaluation and treatment. Exclusion Criteria: * Surgical interference in upper limbs and/or spine that may restrain the child performance during activities. * Orthopedic problems or fixed deformities in the vertebral column and/or upper extremities. * Uncontrolled seizures. * Visual or hearing impairment. * Receiving special medication affecting muscle and /or mental function.
