Pharmacogenomic Contributions to Trihexyphenidyl Biotransformation and Response in Children With Dystonic Cerebral Palsy
This study looks at how a medicine called trihexyphenidyl works in children with dystonic cerebral palsy. The study aims to understand how trihexyphenidyl is broken down and used in the body of pediatric patients and whether this is impacted by a person's genetics. Information from this study will also be …
GUIDed Growth of the Proximal Femur to Prevent Further Hip MigrAtion in CErebral Palsy Patients
In recent literature, the potential of guided growth of the proximal femur to modify hip growth in patients with cerebral palsy has been shown. Using medial hemi-epiphysiodesis of the proximal femur (TMH-PF) morphology of hips at risk of symptomatic (sub)luxation in cerebral palsy (CP) can be changed, aiming to reduce …
Pain Injection Versus Epidural Anesthesia for Hip Surgery in Pediatric Patients With Cerebral Palsy
Pain management in pediatric patients presents a difficult challenge. Unlike adults, pediatric patients often cannot communicate their pain management needs clearly. This is especially true in patients with cerebral palsy (CP), who often have concomitant developmental delay, intellectual disability and verbal limitations. Current literature indicates pain as a common experience …
Addiction Potential of Very Low Nicotine Filtered Little Cigars
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how reducing the nicotine content in filtered little cigars can affect the the use of these cigars and lung health in current adult filtered little cigar users. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Are puffing behaviors, appeal/satisfaction, craving suppression, …
rTMS Treatment of Spasticity in Children With Cerebral Palsy/ Hemiplegia Due to ABI - a RCT
This RCT aims to investigate the effect of repetitive transcranial magnatic stimulation (rTMS) in treating children with hemiplegoc cerebral palsy. The study will measure any improvement in spasticity after using contra-lesional inhibitory rTMS follow by intensive limb training. Participants will attend a 10-day rTMS treatment sessions, follow by intensive training …
The Impact of a Virtual Magic Trick Training Program
The proposed project will attempt to confirm the benefits of a structured magic trick training program (MTTP) experience in adolescents with autism. Benefits of participating in a 6-week virtual MTTP will be evaluated using validated assessments to measure social-emotional competencies.
Exercise Training Among Children With Cerebral Palsy to Increase Health and Well-being - A Feasibility Study
The use of eHealth in children with cerebral palsy (CP) holds promise to increase participation in exercise. eHealth, has shown to increase accessibility to appropriate healthcare professionals as well as reduces time- and energy consuming transportation to/from physical appointments[5]. In children with CP reduced transportation to and from appointments, increased …
Pilot Study of "Bottarga" Supplementation: A Little-known, Sustainable "Blue" Food
This pilot study aims to explore the potential benefits of consuming Greek Bottarga (grey mullet fish roe) in overweight, pre-diabetic individuals. Before initiating the crossover randomized controlled trial (RCT), the investigators will conduct a preliminary dose-testing study in five overweight and pre-diabetic adults.Participants will undergo clinical assessments before and after …
Gut Peptides and Bone Remodeling in Children With Neuromuscular Disorders
Both GIP and GLP-2 reduce bone resorption (measured as CTX) in healthy adult individuals. In this study, we will investigate whether GIP and GLP-2 reduce CTX in children with spinal muscular atrophy, duchenne muscular dystrophy, or cerebral palsy.
Validation of a Method of Screening for Sleep Disorders in Children With Cerebral Palsy, Using Connected Tools
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 …
