About this study
Official title: Effect of Multisensory Environment Stimulation Therapy on Postural Control in Spastic Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy
To investigate the Effect of Multisensory environment stimulation therapy on postural control in spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
Read the detailed description
Fortypatients with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy will participate in this study.
The patients will randomly be divided into two equal groups; the control group which received the selected exercise program and the study group received the same exercise training program in addition to Multisensory environment stimulation therapy, three times per week for three months. The evaluation methods are BIODEX, The Pediatric Balance Scale, and multidirection reach test
- Conditions
- Cerebral Palsy
- Being tested
- Multisensory environment stimulation therapy, selected physical therapy intervention

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Multisensory environment stimulation therapyOther
A Multi Sensory Environment is a dedicated space or room where sensory stimulation can be controlled (intensified or reduced), presented in isolation or combination, packaged for active or passive interaction
selected physical therapy interventionOther
therapeutic balance training and functional therapeutic exercises
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| study group | Experimental | Not described Receives: Other: Multisensory environment stimulation therapy; Other: selected physical therapy intervention |
| control group | Experimental | Not described Receives: Other: selected physical therapy intervention |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
biodex balance system
EVALUATION OF POSTURAL BALANCE USINGTHE BIODEX BALANCE SYSTEM
Measured: three months
The Pediatric Balance Scale
used to assess functional balance skills in school-aged children. The scale consists of 14 items that are scored from 0 points (lowest function) to 4 points (highest function) with a maximum score of 56 points.
Measured: three months
Secondary outcomes (1)
multidirection reach test
The Multi-Directional Reach Test (MDRT) measures balance and the limits of stability in the anterior-posterior and medial-lateral directions by testing how far an individual can voluntarily reach forward, to the right, to the left, and lean backward, while standing with their feet flat on the ground
Measured: three months

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 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jan 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Egypt. 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?
biodex balance system (time frame: three months). The study lists 2 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 29 Jan 2026.
