An interventional study of Intensive goal training in Cerebral Palsy, sponsored by Federal University of Minas Gerais. Status unknown at 1 site in Brazil. Open to participants aged 12 Years to 17 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2019-02-15.
Sponsored by Federal University of Minas Gerais · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) present important limitations for the performance of daily living activities. The aims of the study is to evaluate the feasibility and effects of an intensive goal training protocol for adolescents with CP. He hypothesize that adolescents submitted to the studied protocol will present improvements in performance and satisfaction of prioritized functional goals.
We will conduct a feasibility study to assess the implementation and the possible effects of an intensive individualized goal training with adolescents with CP. Adolescents will select up to 5 functional goals to be trained during a 2 weeks, 3 hour-daily training, totalling 30 hours across 2 weeks. Moreover, they will be asked to daily practice these activities at home along the intervention period.
1,853 studies on the registry are indexed under Cerebral Palsy; 433 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 20 is below the median of 33 across 1,368 interventional studies indexed under Cerebral Palsy.
