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
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looks at children with spastic cerebral palsy to see if ultrasound images of their muscles can predict how well they can move. Researchers will measure muscle thickness, stiffness, and blood flow, and compare these to standard tests of motor function. The goal is to find better ways to plan rehabilitation for each child.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help doctors create more personalized physical therapy plans for children with cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage observational study, so it may not lead to immediate changes in treatment. Results may not apply to all children with cerebral palsy.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Ambulatory children aged 4 to 18 years diagnosed with spastic cerebral palsy, classified within GMFCS levels I-III and MACS levels I-IV, who are referred to a pediatric rehabilitation clinic for routine evaluation and are eligible for non-invasive ultrasound-based muscle morphology and clinical assessments.

Ages

4 to 18 years

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of spastic cerebral palsy (SCP) according to the criteria defined by Rosenbaum et al. (2007) * Age between 4 and 18 years * Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) Level I, II, or III * Manual Ability Classification System (MACS) Level I, II, III, or IV Exclusion Criteria: * Non-spastic types of cerebral palsy (e.g., dyskinetic, ataxic) * Diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders other than cerebral palsy (e.g., hereditary neuropathy, myopathy) * Presence of muscle contractures or fixed deformities in the limbs selected for ultrasound and clinical assessment * Cognitive or behavioral impairments that prevent cooperation during ultrasound or clinical evaluation * Botulinum toxin-A (BoNT-A) injection applied to the target muscles within the last 6 months * Current treatment with oral or intrathecal antispastic medications * History of orthopedic surgery or selective dorsal rhizotomy involving the target muscles * Acute infection, febrile illness, or severe systemic disease (e.g., advanced heart failure, respiratory insufficiency) that may compromise the safety of assessments
