| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To compare the effectiveness of 3 doses of Dysport (5, 10 or 15 Units/Kg/painful hip) in the management of chronic hip pain due to cerebral palsy in children/young people. The primary endpoint will be the change in score in the Paediatric Pain Profile from Baseline to the Week 4 assessment. A responder will be defined as having a 20 point reduction in the Paediatric Pain Profile score.;Secondary Objective: • To compare the three treatment groups of the change in Paediatric Pain Profile Score following treatment with Dysport from Baseline to Week 12 and Week 16. • To compare the treatment groups of the change in sleep pattern and quality (length of time taken to get to sleep each night, frequency of waking during the night, total duration of sleep per night, sleep patterns during the day) from Baseline to Weeks 4, 12 and 16 as assessed using the sleep diary. • To compare the treatment groups of the change in sleep questionnaire score from Baseline to Weeks 4 and 16. • To compare the treatment groups of the change in oral analgesia intake at all assessment time points after the study treatment. • To compare the treatment groups of the change in hip range of movement from Baseline to Weeks 4, 12 and 16. • To compare the treatment groups of the duration of efficacy, defined as return of clinically significant pain. ;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy variable is a comparison between the three treatment groups of the change in Paediatric Pain Profile Score following study treatment with Dysport from Baseline to Week 4. Responders are defined as those patients who achieve a reduction of 20 points or more. | — |
