Cognitive Sensory Motor Training Therapy for Children With Cerebral Palsy 32 Randomized

Recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT07248566 is an interventional study for Cerebral Palsy that is recruiting. It started on 28 October 2025 with plans to enroll 32 participants. Led by Riphah International University, it is expected to complete by 16 January 2026. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on 25 November 2025.
Brief Summary
The current study will be randomized controlled trial, data will be collected from Central Park Teaching Hospital. The study will include 32 participants equally divided into two groups and randomly allocated. Inclusion criteria for this study will be consist of diagnosis with cerebral palsy, age 6-12, ability to participate in cognitive sensory motor training therapy, stable medical condition, and informed consent f...Show More
Detailed Description
Cerebral palsy defined as a neuro-impairment with motor disability caused by a non- progressive defect or lesion of the immature brain. Cerebral palsy (CP) impact approximately

1 in 500 children worldwide, affecting motor function, muscle tone, and coordination.

Children with CP will experience limitations in daily activities, social participation, and quality of life due to impaired upper limb function. To address...

Active ComparatorGroup A
participated in Cognitive Sensory Motor Training Therapy (CSMT) for 35 minutes, five times a week, over 12 weeks. Cognitive exercise therapy combines spatial and tactile tasks to improve cognitive function, focusing on perception and sensory awareness. Participants completed 5 tasks, customized to their recovery progress

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Action Research Arm Test:
The ARAT is a standardized measure of the upper extremity (arm and hand) function based on four movements : grasping, grip-ping, pinching and gross movements of shoulder,elbow and fingers. ARAT has an ordinal 4-point scale (0-3) for 19 items. Scoring is determined as follows: 0, patient cannot perform any part of task;1, patient is able to lift the object completely from the platform; 2, function is performed fully but clumsily or with great difficulty; and 3, the movement is performed normally. The maximum score for each arm is 57 points.
The test can be completed in an average of 10 minutes but requires specific materials
Box and Block Test:
The box and block test 13 will be used to evaluate gross manual dexterity. The setup consists of two adjacent boxes of the same size (53.7 × 25.4 × 8.5cm), one of them filled with 150 blocks (2.5 cm 3).Between the two boxes, there is a partition 15.2 cm in height. The patient must move blocks one by one from one box to the other, over the partition.
The number moved in 60 seconds is the recorded score.
