Study & Design

Study Type
interventional
Study Design
Not specified
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
How many patients take part in at least five out of six planned sessions over the entire duration of the individual treatment sessions (adherence rate)? The following sub-questions arise for the main question: If patients (child and caregivers) decide not to continue treatment - what is the reason for this? Would patients (child and caregivers) who successfully participated in the study for any reason not consider recommending rPMS as a possible therapy option to other patients?
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
• Efficacy: Exploratory evaluation of the clinical effect of the intervention<br><br>• Recruitment rate: proportion of patients contacted who meet the inclusion criteria and actually participate in the study.<br><br>• Safety: Recording of adverse events (AE) in self-created questionnaires; Evaluation of all recorded potential AEs with regard to causal connection with intervention; Classification of the severity of AEs<br><br>• Satisfaction: of patients and caregivers with the intervention, acceptance of the rPMS treatment and motivation to continue the treatment using a self-created questionnaire<br><br>• Assessment of the applicability from the physiotherapist's viewpoint: Individual assessment, including the practicability. Support for therapeutic treatment based on an interview guide/qualitative interview after the final examination
