Summary

This trial is testing a therapy called constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT) for children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. The therapy will be delivered through tele-video in the child's home

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy, which affects one side of their body. They should be able to participate in therapy sessions via tele-video from home or a similar setting. Specific inclusion and exclusion criteria details are not provided.
What is being tested?
The CHAMP T2 study is testing the effectiveness of constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT) delivered through tele-video to improve the use of a limb affected by cerebral palsy.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves physical therapy and not medication, traditional drug side effects are not expected. However, there may be fatigue or discomfort associated with the exercises.
