Home video training boosts chewing skills in kids with cerebral palsy
NCT ID NCT06268223
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a home-based program for children with cerebral palsy who have trouble chewing. Twenty-two children did chewing exercises, and half also watched videos of chewing actions at home with a therapist's guidance. The goal was to see if adding video observation improved chewing, swallowing, and feeding behavior over 12 weeks.
