The Goal of this Clinical Trial is to learn if a treatmnet called Sensory Integration Therapy (SIT) can Improve walking,Balance and movemnet in children with a type of cerebral palsy called spastic hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy .This Condition affects one side of body and make walking uneven.The study will include children between 5-12 year old .
The main Question this study aims to answer are :
Does adding SIT to regular physical therapy improve How symmetrically children walk? Does adding SIT to regular physical therapy improve balance and daily movements skills,compared with regular/conventional Physical Therapy Alone.
Researches will compare two group of children to see if SIT + Conventional Physical Therapy work better then Convential Physical therapy alone .
Participant will be palaced into one of two groups by chance one group will recieive SIT alone with COnventional PT,the other group will recieve Conventional Therapy Alone only.
Attend Therapy session 3 time a week for 8 week Be tested before and after the 8 week using simple movement and balence tests,including a walking assessment done By video .

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial is specifically for children with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy — can you help me understand whether my child's specific type and severity of CP would be a good fit for a sensory integration therapy study like this one?
2The trial is measuring gait using something called the Edinburgh Visual Gait Score — can you explain what that measures and whether improving my child's walking pattern is actually one of our most important goals right now?
3Since this trial is listed as 'not yet recruiting,' how long might we realistically wait before it opens, and should we be pursuing other therapies in the meantime rather than waiting?
4This is listed as Phase NA, which typically applies to non-drug intervention studies like therapy — what does that mean for what we already know, or don't know, about the safety and effectiveness of sensory integration therapy for children like mine?
5Are there standard occupational or physical therapy approaches for spastic hemiplegic CP that we should consider first, or alongside this trial, in case enrollment is delayed or my child doesn't qualify?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
