ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a therapy called Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI) to see how it can help improve eating and swallowing skills in young children who have cerebral palsy (CP). Many children with CP face challenges when it comes to feeding and swallowing, which can make mealtimes stressful and affect their nutrition and growth. The trial is looking for children aged 1 to 3 years and 9 months who have spastic CP, along with problems like drooling and difficulty swallowing.

Children who participate in the trial will receive the MNRI therapy, which focuses on helping their facial reflexes and overall movement development. The goal is to enhance their ability to eat and swallow safely and effectively. To participate, children should not have any serious mouth issues or a history of epilepsy. This trial aims to find out if this therapy can significantly improve the quality of life for children with these feeding and swallowing difficulties.
