Summary

This trial tests whether mirror therapy — a low-cost technique where a child watches the reflection of their good arm moving, creating the illusion that their affected arm is moving — can improve arm and hand function in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy. Twenty-six children aged 6 to 12 will be randomly assigned to receive either real mirror therapy or a sham version alongside standard physiotherapy for 8 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in selective motor control, manual dexterity, hand grip strength, and daily hand use to see if the mirror illusion provides real benefits.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
mirror therapy
What this could lead to
If effective, mirror therapy could offer a simple, low-cost way to improve arm and hand function in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 26 participants. The sham control may not fully blind participants, and results may not apply to all children with CP.
