Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
The American Psychiatric Association’s manual of mental health diagnoses. DSM-5 (2013, revised as DSM-5-TR in 2022) replaced DSM-IV, and some studies still name the older edition. “Meets DSM criteria for …” means diagnosed by that edition’s diagnostic criteria, usually by a clinician in an interview.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Test Time Up and Go
The time it takes children to walk 3 metres, getting up from a standard chair walking to a cone and back and sitting back down is measured. The result of this scale is the time that the children take to do this, if the time decrease after the time of intervention that means the children improve their physical condition.
Time frame: One Month
Timed 10-Meter Walk Test
The time traveled in seconds over a distance is measured, from the 2 meter mark to meter 8 is taken into consideration, three attempts are made by each participant. The result of this scale is the time that the children take to do this, if the time decrease after the time of intervention that means the children improve their physical condition.
Time frame: One Month
Gross Motor Function Measure
This scale consists of an 88 items test to assess gross motor function, as higher score have the children better physical condition.
Time frame: One Month

Started Mar 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jun 2025, 14 months after the start.
Of 902 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Cerebral Palsy, half reached primary completion within 12 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 31. This study's planned 14 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 921 studies reached it within 12 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 31.
