What participants receive

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

  • medication Botulinum A injection.Drug

    In cerebral palsy patients, Botulinum toxin within the allowable dose of 16 U / kg per body weight will injected into both adductor longus, adductor magnus muscle at 3 U / kg, adductor brevis, and gracilis muscle at a dose of 1 U / kg.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from hip adductor and spin muscles electromyography(EMG) test at a month

    Use EMG to check the activity of the hip adductor and spine muscles of participants.

    This figures will give investigators a look at the association with a hip dislocation.

    Measured: once at study, when patient enrolled and every once a month for one year

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Whole spine AP and total Hip AP X-ray photograph

    Whole spine and total Hip joint are checked with X-ray photograph. and investigators will check the progress of hip dislocation and spinal scoliosis.

    Measured: once at study, when patient enrolled and and after six month for one year

  2. hip adductor muscles pressure meter test

    Pressures of hip adductors muscles are measured from pressure meter. and This figures will give investigators a look at the association with a hip dislocation.

    Measured: once at study, when patient enrolled and every once a month for one year

  3. Likert scale

    Evaluate the satisfaction of botulinum toxin A injection. Likert scale is a response category that indicates the extent to which the question is for or against. Example) Very satisfied - normal - slightly dissatisfied - very dissatisfied

    Measured: once at study, when patient enrolled and every once a month for one year

  4. Hip and knee joint Range of motion(ROM) test

    Measure the range of motion the knee and hip joints.

    Measured: once at study, when patient enrolled and every once a month for one year

  5. CPCHILD sacle

    Evaluate the quality of life for patients with cerebral palsy. CPCHILD scale have 6section and each section measures scores by 0 to 5.

    Measured: once at study, when patient enrolled and every once a month for one year

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

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?

Change from hip adductor and spin muscles electromyography(EMG) test at a month (time frame: once at study, when patient enrolled and every once a month for one year). 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?
