About this study
deleyed fine motor skills are currently considered a as clinical manifestation of autism spectrum disorder, should be assessed due to their high incidence and considerable influence on life quality functional activity
Read the detailed description
Many studies demonstrated that improvements in sensory-motor skills, motor planning, and reading related skills in children with learning and intellectual disabilities were seen using SI and fine motor intervention (Iwanaga et al., 2014). Fine motor skills of children with ASD are markedly affected which might be related to the stereotype movement and limited social interactions. Therefore, this study will be conducted to investigate relation between autistic features and fine motor abilities in children with autism spectrum disorder.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Autism or Autistic Traits, run by Cairo University.
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 3 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
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?
autistic features (time frame: baseline assessment). 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 5 Oct 2026.
