“…10,53 However, compared to other reviews on CBT interventions, 53 most studies were not RCTs and did not include high-quality research designs. Only one RCT included a wait-list control group to allow the examination of treatment efficiency; [28][29][30] another study directly compared a CBT-based program with another treatment approach. 38 Furthermore, the two RCTs had inconsistent regarding treatment effectiveness in relation to the different study measures involved.…”

“…Another major finding was that most of the interventions were third-wave CBT techniques, with mindfulness-based interventions representing the most common type of intervention. [28][29][30]35,40 This finding suggests that mindfulness-based interventions may serve as a promising psychological approach to support individuals with CP in coping with various physical and mental health challenges.…”

Aim To synthesize the evidence about the main intervention characteristics of cognitive behavioral therapies (CBTs) for individuals with cerebral palsy and identify barriers and facilitators to their success, focusing on aspects of feasibility and markers of success. Method A scoping review methodology informed a literature search for papers published between 1991 and 2021. Articles were screened, reviewed, and categorized using the DistillerSR systematic review software, and critically appraised for quantitative and/or qualitative criteria. Results Out of 1265 publications identified, 14 met the inclusion criteria. Elements associated with the specific study participant characteristics (46% female; aged 6–65 years), type of CBT techniques used (third‐wave [n = 6], cognitive [n = 3], cognitive and behavioral [n = 2], biofeedback training [n = 2]), and features of the study context and methodological quality (two randomized clinical trials and small sample sizes [n ≤ 12]), were identified. Most studies had psychological targets of intervention (n = 10) and secondary physiological (n = 3) or social (n = 2) objectives. Feasibility indicators were described in nearly one‐third of the papers. Interpretation This study highlights the high flexibility within CBT interventions, enabling their adaptation for individuals with cerebral palsy. However, relatively little, and only low‐certainty evidence was identified. More high‐quality research in terms of specific CBT techniques, optimal treatment doses, and detailed population characteristics are needed.

“…Recent studies have suggested that mindfulness may have beneficial effects on patients with CP, such as improvements in motor function, communication, and stress management. However, further research is needed to better understand the effects of mindfulness on CP and to develop effective therapeutic interventions (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). This review aims to explore the role of mindfulness in the management of CP by reviewing the available scientific literature and discussing possible clinical implications.…”

Background Cerebral palsy (CP) is a chronic neurological disorder that can cause motor and cognitive disabilities. Mindfulness is a form of meditation that has gained attention as a potential therapeutic intervention for improving the health and well-being of patients with CP. Methods Four databases were searched until January 2023. A scoping review was conducted to explore the role of mindfulness in the management of CP by reviewing the available scientific literature. Studies that examined the effects of mindfulness on motor function, communication, and quality of life in patients with CP were analysed. Grey literature and reference lists of included articles were not identified. The results were presented in numerical and thematic form. Results From an initial pool of 30 registered studies, only 3 met the inclusion criteria. These selected studies reported positive effects of mindfulness interventions on communication abilities and stress management in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). Conclusions The available evidence suggests that mindfulness may have beneficial effects on motor function, communication, and quality of life in patients with CP. The findings of this review highlight the potential of mindfulness as a complementary therapy for improving the health and well-being of patients with CP.

Children with cerebral palsy (CP) often show executive function (EF) impairments that are key to quality of life. The aim of this study was to assess whether a home-based computerized intervention program improves executive functions (EFs) compared to usual care. Sixty participants (30 females) with CP (8–12 years old) were paired by age, sex, motor ability, and intelligence quotient score and then randomized to intervention and waitlist control groups. The intervention group received a 12-week home-based computerized EF intervention (5 days/week, 30 min/day, total dose 30 h). Core and higher-order EFs were assessed before, immediately after, and 9 months after completing the intervention. The intervention group performed better than the waitlist control group in the three core EFs (immediately and 9 months after the intervention): inhibitory control (F = 7.58, p = 0.13 and F = 7.85, p = 0.12), working memory (F = 8.34, p = 0.14 and F = 7.55, p = 0.13), and cognitive flexibility (F = 4.87, p = 0.09 and F = 4.19, p = 0.08). No differences were found between the groups in higher-order EFs or EF manifestations in daily life.Conclusions: A home-based computerized EF intervention improved core EFs in children with CP, but further research is needed to identify strategies that allow the transfer of these improvements to everyday life.Trial registration: NCT04025749 retrospectively registered on 19 July 2019. What is Known:• One in two children with cerebral palsy has an intellectual impairment. Visual perception and executive functions are the most reported specific cognitive deficits.• The majority of interventions for cerebral palsy focus on motor impairments, but only a few randomized controlled trials have explored the effect of interventions on executive functions. What is New:• A home-based computerized cognitive intervention can improve the core executive functions of children with cerebral palsy.• Short- and long-term effects on core executive functions have been found.
