Functional Benefits of Multisite Surgery for the Upper Limb of Children

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study is to investigate the impact of individualized multisite neuro-orthopedic surgery of the upper limb in children with Cerebral Palsy on unilateral functional capacities and bimanual performance. The investigators also assessed the attainment of individualized goals and tracked any potential factors that may have an impact on final results.

Clinical Trial Description

Cerebral Palsy is responsible for the most common neurological disorders in children. Although the primary lesion is non-evolutionary, the secondary consequences are evolutive, with neuro-orthopaedic degradation leading to soft tissue retraction and osteo-articular deformities. Hemiplegia occurs in approximately 30% of cases of Cerebral Palsy, and tone disorders (spasticity, dyskinesia) affecting the upper limb generally impact function, both in unilateral capacities (range of motion, dexterity, and fluidity of movement), and in bimanual performance. The focal treatment of spasticity by botulinum toxin injections, in combination with specific occupational therapy training, has proven to be effective in improving targeted functional goals. However, there is little evidence today of the effectiveness of treatment for the management of upper limb retraction and deformity, whether by stretching, orthosis/plaster or even surgery. And apart from its effectiveness on body structure, the functional effects of upper limb surgery in Cerebral Palsy have been little explored. The aim of the study is to investigate the impact of individualized multisite neuro-orthopedic surgery of the upper limb in children with Cerebral Palsy on unilateral functional capacities and bimanual performance, by using such tools as the Melbourne Assessment (Version 2) and the Assisting Hand Assessment (Version 5.0). ;

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.
