NCT ID NCT07732881

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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This trial tests whether a special training program called Reactive Functional Motor Challenge Training can improve dynamic balance and functional mobility in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. The training uses equipment like balance pads, cones, therapy balls, and a balance beam to challenge a child's ability to react and move. Forty children who can walk with some limitation will be randomly assigned to receive either this reactive training or standard physical therapy, with balance and walking tests compared before and after treatment.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Reactive Functional Motor Challenge Training using balance pads, therapy steps, cones, obstacles, elastic bands, therapy balls, floor markers, targets, balance discs, mats, rollator, wedges, and balance beam
What this could lead to
If effective, this training approach could offer a new, non-drug way to improve balance and walking ability in children with cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants. The training is complex and may not be practical for all children or settings.

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosed with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. * Grade 1and 1+ according to the Modified Ashworth scale. * They can walk alone, with limitation, GMFCS Levels I-II. * Able to follow simple verbal instructions. Exclusion Criteria: * Orthopedic surgery during the previous 12 months. * Botulinum toxin injection within the previous 6 months. * Severe cognitive impairment preventing cooperation. * Uncontrolled epilepsy. * Fixed musculoskeletal deformities limiting functional activities. * Children who suffer from other diseases or associated disorders that interfere with physical activity.
