A protocol for a three-arm randomized controlled trial evaluating the Global Integration Method (MIG) for improving motor and functional outcomes in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The study, authored by Thalita Karla Flores Cruz and approved by a Brazilian ethics committee, involves 66 children aged 6-12 years and was last updated in April 2026. The protocol is published as a 3.7 MB PDF document under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Designing similar clinical trials for motor-based interventions in neurodevelopmental disorders based on the described three-arm RCT methodology.
• Analyzing intervention frameworks grounded in predictive coding and embodied cognition theories as described in the protocol.
• Comparing primary and secondary outcome measures for motor skills and functional goal attainment in autism research.
• Reviewing ethical and dissemination procedures for clinical trials involving children, as outlined in the protocol.

Strengths

• The protocol is prospectively registered in the Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials (identifier U1111-1326 2272), enhancing transparency.
• The study design includes 66 participants, concealed allocation, and blinded outcome assessors, which suggests methodological rigor.

Limitations

• The dataset is a protocol document; the underlying trial data (columns, rows, sample data) is unavailable for direct analysis.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative analysis.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download if data becomes available.
