Completed

• Conditions: Muscle pain; Fatigue

• Registration Number: TCTR20180419002
• Lead Sponsor: Routine to Research Unit, Siriraj Hospital

Brief Summary

After the treatments, GDT group showed significant improvements on GMFM-66, CP-QOL and caregiver burden. While CT group revealed improvement only caregiver burden and some domains of GMFM including sitting and crawling & kneeling. Comparison between groups found that GDT was more effective than CT on improving GMFM-66 and CP-QOL. Home program compliance was higher in the GDT (69%) compared to the CT group (42%).
