Overview

The purpose of this study is to characterize the cortical connectivity changes in the brain of spastic diplegic children after Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy.

Description

To establish the structural changes in the corticopyramidal tract using diffusion tractography imaging (DTI) due to selective dorsal rhizotomy and compare the resting state functional connectivity(rsfcMRI) temporal latency differences of spastic diplegics for Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Children diagnosis with Spastic Diplegia and having Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy surgery

Exclusion Criteria:

  • No Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy surgery

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
