What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of combining traditional rehabilitation with biofeedback training to enhance cognitive and motor functions in children diagnosed with mild intellectual disabilities. Over a 3-week period, participants will be randomly assigned to either a study group receiving both conventional therapy and biofeedback training or a control group receiving only conventional therapy. The study will take place at the St. Hedwig the Queen Regional Hospital in Rzeszów, Poland, and will involve a total of 60 children aged 7 to 12 years. The results are expected to contribute to therapeutic protocols for children with impaired motor and cognitive functions.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are children aged 7-12 years with a diagnosis of mild intellectual disability.
Not a fit: Patients with severe intellectual disabilities or those with comorbid conditions such as autism or cerebral palsy may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve cognitive and motor skills in children with mild intellectual disabilities, enhancing their overall development.
How similar studies have performed: While the combination of biofeedback and conventional therapy is a novel approach, similar studies have shown promise in improving cognitive and motor functions in various populations.
