This trial uses a smartphone app to measure how children with cerebral palsy walk. It aims to see if phone sensors can help doctors better understand gait problems.
Minya, Menia GovernorateAges 6–12 - NCT07715006Recruiting
Spinal nerve stimulation for children with cerebral palsy
This study adds a mild electrical stimulation to the spinal nerves during a planned SDR surgery for children with cerebral palsy, to see if it helps improve movement more than the surgery alone.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 3–14 - NCT03402854Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus arm therapy for children with one-sided CP
This study tests whether a non-painful brain stimulation treatment plus bimanual (two-hand) arm therapy can improve arm and hand use in children with congenital hemiplegic cerebral palsy. It may help children strengthen and control the affected hand and improve daily movement.
White Plains, New YorkAges 6–18 - NCT04250454Recruiting
Early treatment for babies at risk of cerebral palsy
This trial looks at an early intervention for very young babies who show signs they may develop cerebral palsy. The goal is to improve development as early as possible, especially in babies with concerning brain scan findings or movement patterns.
Charlottenlund, København CityAges 2 months–5 months - NCT04596852Recruiting
Testing a new stiffness and spasticity measuring method in children
This study checks whether a special device can reliably measure muscle stiffness and spasticity (tight, overactive muscles) in children. It includes children with cerebral palsy and healthy children to compare measurements and improve accuracy.
Saint-Fargeau-PonthierryAges 7–18 - NCT04630392Recruiting
Treadmill and vibration therapy for children with spastic cerebral palsy
This study tests whether treadmill training, with or without whole-body vibration, can improve walking and movement in children with spastic cerebral palsy. If you qualify, the goal is to see whether this exercise approach is safe and helpful.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 6–17 - NCT04792606Recruiting
Study tracking long-term hip outcomes in non-walking children
This study follows children with cerebral palsy who cannot walk (severe type) and have hip displacement, to see how hip treatment affects long-term outcomes. You may be asked your child’s caregivers to complete a questionnaire so researchers can compare results over time.
Toronto, OntarioAges 2–19 - NCT04837105Recruiting
Game-based training to help children walk better with cerebral palsy
This study tests whether a serious video game can improve walking and movement in children with cerebral palsy. It may help your child practice safer, more effective walking skills through guided play.
Saint-Fargeau-Ponthierry, Île-de-France RegionAges 10–18 - NCT04886895Recruiting
Motor training program for infants with cerebral palsy risk
This study tests a motor (movement) training program for very young infants at higher risk for cerebral palsy or who show early signs of it. The goal is to see whether training improves early movement and development during the first months of life.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 3 months–8 months - NCT04897347Recruiting
Robotic sitting and reaching training for children with cerebral palsy
This trial tests a robotic therapy that helps children with cerebral palsy practice sitting balance and reaching safely. It may improve how well your child can control posture and move during functional tasks.
New York, New YorkAges 6–17 - NCT07694804Recruiting
Physical therapy for arm and hand function in children with cerebral palsy
This study tests two types of physical therapy to help children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy improve the use of their arms and hands. The treatments focus on stretching and coordination exercises, and they may help your child with daily activities.
Mansehra, KPKAges 6–12 - NCT04997109Recruiting
Telemedicine for early constraint therapy in young children with CP
This trial studies a home-based (telemedicine) version of a therapy called constraint therapy for very young babies at risk for or diagnosed with cerebral palsy (CP). The goal is to improve how well the affected arm/hand works by encouraging use of the more affected side.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 4 months–1.1 years - NCT05154253RecruitingPhase 1
Improving ankle push-off in children with cerebral palsy
This early (Phase 1) study tests a way to improve how well the ankle muscles help you push off when walking in cerebral palsy. If the ankle function improves, it may lead to a more comfortable and safer walking pattern.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 8–21 - NCT05317234Recruiting
Genetic testing study for children with cerebral palsy
This study looks for genetic reasons that may contribute to cerebral palsy. It may help families understand potential causes, especially when a specific genetic change is found.
BronAges 2–15 - NCT05571033Recruiting
Training the ankle reflex in adults with spastic cerebral palsy
This study tests a method to retrain a reflex in the ankle to help reduce muscle tightness and improve movement in adults with spastic cerebral palsy. You would do controlled practice during the study while your usual medical care stays stable.
White Plains, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05657548Recruiting
Posture study in sitting for children with cerebral palsy
This study measures the way a child’s pelvis and spine sit and hold posture while seated. It is meant to improve understanding of posture needs in children with cerebral palsy and help guide care.
NîmesAges 4–17 - NCT05740605Recruiting
Testing an at-home therapy program for bilateral cerebral palsy
This trial tests an at-home intervention (called HABIT-ILE) for children with bilateral cerebral palsy, delivered over two weeks. It aims to see whether home-based therapy and assessments help children function better and whether families can follow the program.
BrusselsAges 5–18 - NCT05781438Recruiting
In-home standing and walking help for infants at CP risk
This study tests a program that helps infants stand and walk at home. It may help babies with cerebral palsy—or those at high risk—by improving movement and function in a safe, supported way.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 5 months–2 years - NCT05883969Recruiting
Family play program for infants at high risk for cerebral palsy
This trial tests an early, family-centered play-based intervention for infants who have a high risk of developing cerebral palsy. The goal is to help support early movement and development as soon as possible.
AalborgAges 3 months–1 year - NCT05899153Recruiting
Gait training with feedback for children with cerebral palsy
This trial tests whether walking practice with real-time feedback (“biofeedback”) can improve how people with cerebral palsy move their legs. It’s designed to help with safer, more efficient walking during treadmill training.
Saint Paul, MinnesotaAges 7–18 - NCT05921422Recruiting
Study of thinking skills in children with cerebral palsy
This study looks at how children’s and teens’ thinking and learning work in everyday school life. It may help researchers better understand strengths and challenges in cerebral palsy to improve support.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cerebral palsy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 249 recruiting cerebral palsy studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a cerebral palsy trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a cerebral palsy trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
