Functional & Neuroplastic Effects of HABIT-ILE in Children With Bilateral

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This randomized controlled trial will compare the effects of neuroplastic and functional changes of Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Therapy Including Lower Extremities (HABIT-ILE) when presented in two periods (2HG; n=24) versus a single period (1HG; n=24) in people with bilateral CP. The 1HG will receive 65 hours of HABIT-ILE over one intervention period; the 2HG will receive 130 hours over two intervention periods, within 6 months apart. Children will be assessed at 6 time points: baseline, three weeks after the start, at 3, 6, 7 and 9 months after the start of the study.

Clinical Trial Description

This study aims to compare, for the first time, the effects of a double period of HABIT-ILE therapy on functional and neuroplastic changes against a single period, in people with bilateral cerebral palsy (CP). Previous HABIT-ILE protocols have only assessed the effects of a single intervention period. Still, the literature suggests a possible dose-response relationship between the number of intensive therapy periods and progress in motor function. A randomized controlled trial will be conducted, comparing the effects of a double period of HABIT-ILE; (2HG; n=24) versus a single period (1HG; n=24) in children and youth with bilateral CP. Each HABIT-ILE period will consider 6.5 hours of intervention during 10 consecutive working days. Children will be assessed at 6-time points: baseline, three weeks after, at 3 months, at 6 months, at 7 months, and at 9 months, to evaluate the long-term effect of HABIT-ILE and the summative effects of the double period in functional and neuroplastic variables. The 1HG will receive only 65 hours of HABIT-ILE after baseline; the 2HG will perform 130 hours over two intervention periods, after baseline and again at 6 months. Overall, this study aims to provide evidence for the effectiveness of HABIT-ILE in producing functional and neuroplastic changes in children with bilateral CP. It will allow us to approach the possible mechanisms underlying the effect of HABIT-ILE. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
