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

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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tested whether adding 10-15 minutes of leg strengthening exercises before standard physical therapy could improve hand function in 40 children aged 6-8 with unilateral cerebral palsy. The leg exercises targeted the less-affected leg, aiming to trigger brain changes that carry over to the affected hand. Results will show if this simple addition enhances handgrip and grasping skills beyond standard rehab alone.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Lower limb strengthening-based cross-training priming
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple rehab addition that improves hand function in children with cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 40 children. The hypothesis expects no difference, so results may not show benefit.
