What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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 tests whether adding task-specific electrical stimulation to standard physical therapy can improve upper limb gross motor skills in children aged 2 to 6 with spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy. Thirty children will be split into two groups: one gets standard therapy, the other gets standard therapy plus electrical stimulation during weight-bearing exercises. The main goal is to see if the stimulation helps with arm function, measured by the Quality of Upper Extremity Skills Test.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
task-specific electrical stimulation (TASES)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple therapy to help children with cerebral palsy improve arm and hand function.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The therapy may not lead to meaningful improvements.
