About this study

Official title: Camp High 5 2016: Evaluation of the Effect on Upper Limb Function

Randomized control trial to evaluate uni-manual and bimanual upper limb function as well as compare outcomes of varied cast wear in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP) following a hybrid camp model of modified constraint induced movement therapy (mCIMT) and hand-arm bimanual intensive training (HABIT).

Being tested
Constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT), Hand-arm bimanual intensive training (HABIT)
Medical subject headings
Trauma, Nervous System, Hemiplegia

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT)Behavioural

    Involves forcing use of ones affected upper extremity (UE) by physically restraining the less affected upper extremity

  • Hand-arm bimanual intensive training (HABIT)Behavioural

    Facilitates the translation of gains to improve goal-directed bimanual performance.

Study groups in NCT02875054
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Continued CastingActive comparatorParticipants with 24 hour cast wear (continued casting) for the entire duration of the constraint portion of camp (2 initial weeks).
Receives: Behavioral: Constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT); Behavioral: Hand-arm bimanual intensive training (HABIT)
Intermittent CastingActive comparatorParticipants who wear a univalve cast for 3 hours of constraint camp with home exercise program of 2 hours cast wear on the weekends (intermittent casting).
Receives: Behavioral: Constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT); Behavioral: Hand-arm bimanual intensive training (HABIT)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pediatric Motor Activity Log

    parent questionnaire to determine how well and how often the family perceives the child Spontaneously uses their affected Upper Extremity throughout the day at home. This assessment is scored by adding up the parental score and getting an average score.

    Measured: 6 Months

  2. Assisting Hand Assessment

    Test of hand function in children with difficulties using one of their hands. The AHA measures how effectively the affected hand and arm is used in bimanual performance.

    Measured: 6 Months

  3. Melbourne-2

    Test of unilateral upper limb function is a validated and reliable tool for evaluating quality of upper limb movement in children with neurological conditions aged 2.5 to 15 years.

    Measured: 6 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT) and Hand-arm bimanual intensive training (HABIT) in people with Neurological Injury and Hemiplegia, run by NYU Langone Health at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pediatric Motor Activity Log (time frame: 6 Months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Apr 2017.
