A 2026 clinical trial protocol details a three-arm randomized controlled trial evaluating the Global Integration Method (MIG) for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The study involves 66 children aged 6 to 12 years, with assessments at baseline, post-intervention, and three-month follow-up. The protocol was authored by Thalita Karla Flores Cruz and is licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Use Cases

• Designing similar randomized controlled trials based on the described three-arm methodology
• Analyzing the effectiveness of interdisciplinary interventions grounded in predictive coding and embodied cognition theories
• Comparing motor and functional outcome measures for children with ASD requiring level 1 or 2 support

Strengths

• The protocol is a registered clinical trial (RBR-7r6n8zd) with ethics approval (No. 7,456,658), indicating formal oversight.
• The study design includes blinded outcome assessors and intention-to-treat analysis, which suggests methodological rigor.
• The description explicitly defines primary and secondary outcomes, including fundamental motor skills and functional goal attainment.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 1.1 MB PDF protocol document; the underlying trial data is not included.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for data analysis.
