Investigation of Development Infants With Primary Congenital Hypothyroidism
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Behavioral
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
A review of the literature has focused primarily on the cognitive and motor development of children with congenital hypothyroidism, but no studies on sensory processing skills have been found. Considering the age range of the groups studied, studies conducted in the early stages of life are rare. This planned study aims to examine the neurological status, motor development, and sensory processing skills of infants aged 6-18 months, considering early synaptogenesis.
