Overview

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common cause of child disability. Nearly 40% of PC children suffer from sleep disorders, which are not routinely screened. The neuro-cognitive, physical and environmental morbidity of sleep disorders should require their diagnosis and management. Limited access to the reference exam (polysomnography or PSG) delays the diagnosis and only allows screening of these disorders for a limited number of PC children. The hypothesis of our study is that connected technologies could optimize screening for sleep disorders in PC children by selecting children requiring PSG exploration and specific management.

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.
