Testing a hypertonia tool for children with movement disorders
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study is translating and testing a tool that helps doctors assess muscle stiffness (hypertonia) in children with motor disorders. It aims to make the tool available in Turkish so it can be used more easily in clinics.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be under 18 years old and have a neuromotor disorder (a condition affecting movement and muscle control).
- Your child must be able to follow simple verbal commands.
- Your child must not have any other major health problems (like heart or kidney disease).
- Your child must not have had botulinum toxin injections or surgery in the last 3 months.
- Your child's medications must have been stable for at least 1 month.

This study tests a simple tool to measure muscle stiffness after a stroke. It helps doctors better understand how to treat muscle tightness that some people have after a stroke.
This study checks whether a special device can reliably measure muscle stiffness and spasticity (tight, overactive muscles) in children. It includes children with cerebral palsy and healthy children to compare measurements and improve accuracy.
This study tests a Turkish version of a mental skills questionnaire for children ages 5-18 who have conditions like ADHD, learning disorders, autism, or motor disorders. It helps see if the test works well for Turkish-speaking kids.
This study looks at how to best measure muscle health and function in children with myotonic dystrophy. It may help prepare for future treatment trials.
This trial tests if combining biofeedback (learning to control body signals) with mild electrical stimulation can help children ages 5 to 10 who have muscle tightness in their arms. It may improve arm movement and daily function.
This trial checks whether an AI (software) called DystoniaNet can accurately identify isolated dystonia using information from your evaluation, and compares its results to standard diagnosis. If you have focal, segmental, or generalized dystonia, this study may help improve faster and more accurate diagnosis in the future.
