NCT05999617
Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common neurological disorder in children and one of the major causes of motor disability. CP causes changes in postural and sensory integration, balance, coordination disorders and muscle weakness due to problems in muscle tone. An effective rehabilitation program is of great importance in solving many problems that can be associated with decreased balance control. Researchers have stated that rehabilitation programs with repetitive special tasks are effective. The aim of the study was to compare the effects of conventional physiotherapy and dual task exercise training in addition to conventional physiotherapy on balance, mobility, physical performance and quality of life in children with cerebral palsy.
NCT06012617
Paediatric (including perinatal) stroke has an incidence of between 1.3 and 13.0 per 100.000 yearly in Europe. 1/3 of children with neonatal and 50% of post-natal stroke will develop a hemiplegia with upper limb being generally more affected than lower limb and a severe impact on children's participation and quality of life. Opportunities to advance scientific knowledge of the influence of genomic variation on the pattern, presentations and prognosis of paediatric stroke are lacking. Conversely, the discovery could have an enormous potential to drive the rehabilitation that is the major component of the stroke patient's care and to achieve a good functional outcome. The present proposal aims to change the current management of care and intervention of children with hemiplegia due to stroke, by identifying relevant biomarkers coming from four different areas (omics, clinical assessment, neuroimaging, Information and Communication Technologies) in order to stratify the children and to create a novel transdisciplinary patient-centred model to optimize and tailor the rehabilitation treatment. As a diagnostic tool, the new workflow allows the set-up for planning an individualized treatment based on patient specific needs, creating a model for an evidence-based clinical decision-making process that starts from the measurements of specific biomarkers, clinical measurements and effective use of patient's Upper Limb. The feasibility of the planned approach can be applied for deeply analysing and understanding results of previous researches and in new pilot studies on already available rehabilitative treatments. The results will provide an example of how different kinds of integrated assessments can contribute to create a plan for the management of children with hemiplegia due to stroke, thus leading to a better understanding of the correlation between genetic and phenotypic data. Finally, the Health Technology Assessment will provide estimates of its national and regional cost effectiveness.
