Investigation of the Effects of Diaphragm Exercises in Children With

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of diaphragmatic myofascial relaxation exercise and diaphragmatic breathing exercises added to the conventional physiotherapy and rehabilitation program in children with diplegic cerebral palsy (CP), primarily on MIP, MEP, and secondarily on thoracic cage mobility, pulmonary functions and sitting ability.

Clinical Trial Description

This research is a randomized controlled trial. Volunteers diagnosed with cerebral palsy who applied to Marmara University Pendik Training and Research Hospital will participate in the research. A voluntary consent form will be obtained from the participants at the beginning of the study. Demographic and clinical information form will be filled for each patient at the beginning of the study before clinical evaluations. Demographic and clinical information form; Age, gender, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), how many weeks were born, birth weight, drug use, disease history, number of siblings, neonatal intensive care hospitalization history, education level of parents will be questioned. The Gross Motor Functional Classification System (KMFSS) will be used to determine the functionality levels of the volunteers who will participate in the study. The following tests will be applied to all of the volunteers who will participate in our study before and after the intervention: Respiratory Muscle Strength Measurement Thoracic Cage Mobility Assessment Pulmonary Function Tests Gross Motor Functional Measurement (part B) Children meeting the inclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to two groups. The control and research groups will receive an individualized conventional rehabilitation program for 45 minutes, 2 days a week for 8 weeks. In addition to conventional rehabilitation, manual diaphragmatic relaxation exercises and diaphragmatic breathing exercises will be applied to the children in the research group two days a week. After 8 weeks of intervention and control group applications, the evaluations made at the beginning of the intervention will be repeated. The evaluations of the two groups will be compared statistically and the results will be interpreted. ;

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.
