A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the impact of the Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI) method on the oro-motor functional skills of children with cerebral palsy. It focuses on assessing improvements in feeding abilities, drooling, and the ability to handle different food textures. The study involves children aged 1 to 3 years and 9 months who exhibit oro-motor dysfunction and dysphagia. Participants will be divided into study and controlled arms to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention.
