Metabolism study in children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how the body uses energy in children with cerebral palsy who have low muscle mass. It compares them to healthy children to understand metabolism better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
