Vitamin D Serum Concentrations & Supplementation in Children With Cerebral Palsy
Completed
- Conditions
- Vitamin D Deficiency
- Registration Number
- NCT01926808

- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to try to correlate vitamin D dosing and dosing adjustment with Vitamin D levels, measure affects of seizure medications on levels as well as pathologic fractures and bone density in severely cognitively impaired, non-mobile children and adolescents with CP.
