Clinical Trial: Focused Versus Radial Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy on Gastrocnemius Spasticity in Children With Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy

U.S., Oct. 27 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07894003) titled 'Focused Versus Radial Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy on Gastrocnemius Spasticity in Children With Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy' on Oct. 16.

Brief Summary: The goal of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to compare the effectiveness of focused extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) versus radial ESWT on gastrocnemius spasticity in children with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy (CP). The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Does focused ESWT (fESWT) reduce gastrocnemius spasticity more effectively than radial ESWT (rESWT)?

2. Are the antispastic effects of fESWT more durable over time compared with rESWT?
