Al Fatiha Induced Alteration of Hematological, and Hormonal Parameters in Cerebral Palsy Patients- A Single Center Study

Al Fatiha Induced Alteration of Hematological, and Hormonal Parameters

Abstract

Background: Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a group of disorders caused by the formation of lesions in the brain during prenatal, perinatal, or postnatal development periods.

Objective: To explore the effect of Al Fatiha intervention on hematological and hormonal parameters of CP-inflicted patients.

Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at Al-Umeed Rehabilitation Association (AURA), Karachi, Pakistan from February to April 2021 for a period of 2 months.

Methods: Thirty-one structured sessions of Al Fatiha administration were conducted at AURA for six weeks after randomly allocating CP-inflicted participants into control and intervention groups. Paired t-tests were performed for within-group comparisons using SPSS v28.

Results: The hematological and hormonal parameters were normal in both groups at baseline and sustained normality in assessment at the 6^th week.

Conclusion: The administration of Al Fatiha precipitated no negative effects. Al Fatiha effect as a non-invasive intervention needs to be intensively examined as it can be a progressive, non-pharmacological, economical, and effective approach for the betterment of CP-inflicted patients. It is hoped that this effort will pave the way for future scientists and further studies.
