What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To compare the effectiveness of 3 doses of Dysport (5, 10 or 15 Units/Kg/hip) in the management of chronic bilateral hip pain due to cerebral palsy in children/young people.

    Measured: From baseline to the end of study (week 20)

  2. The primary endpoint will be the change in score in the Paediatric Pain Profile.

    Measured: From baseline to the week 4 assessment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To compare the effectiveness of 3 doses of Dysport (5, 10 or 15 Units/Kg/hip) in the management of hip pain as assessed by the change in the score of the Paediatric Pain Profile at all other assessment time points.

    Measured: Weeks 12, 16 and 20

  2. To compare the effect of the different doses of Dysport on sleep pattern and quality as assessed using a sleep diary and sleep questionnaire at all assessment time points.

    Measured: Weeks 4, 12, 16 and 20

  3. To compare the effect of the different doses of Dysport on oral analgesia intake for hip pain at all assessment time points.

    Measured: Weeks 4, 12, 16 and 20

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
