Spinal stimulation for leg stiffness in cerebral palsy
This study tests a short-term treatment that uses mild electrical stimulation on the back to help reduce leg stiffness and improve walking in people with cerebral palsy. It may help you move more easily.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 4–65 - NCT06428032Recruiting
Habit training for children with bilateral cerebral palsy
This trial tests a therapy called HABIT-ILE to see if it helps children with bilateral cerebral palsy improve hand use and brain function. It may be a good fit if your child can follow instructions and has certain levels of hand and movement ability.
Santiago, Santiago MetropolitanAges 8–18 - NCT07806994Recruiting
Eye tracking and hand use in children with cerebral palsy
This study uses eye-tracking technology to see how children with cerebral palsy use their eyes and hands together during tasks that involve both hands. It may help improve understanding of motor control and guide future therapies.
Seoul, SeoulAges 6–12 - NCT06571929Recruiting
Augmented reality training for arm function in children with cerebral palsy
This study tests whether playing special augmented reality games (where virtual objects appear in the real world) can improve arm and hand function in children with spastic cerebral palsy. It compares game training to usual therapy.
São Carlos, São PauloAges 6–12 - NCT07730086Recruiting
Using smartphones to study walking in children with cerebral palsy
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 - NCT06616610Recruiting
Testing a single-button system for children with cerebral palsy
This trial tests a new single-button system to see if it can help children with cerebral palsy react faster and press buttons more accurately. It is designed for children who cannot walk or drive a powered wheelchair.
Seville, AndalusiaAges 3–12 - 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 - 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 - NCT07685327Recruiting
Mixed reality vs. physical therapy for balance in teens with cerebral palsy
This study compares two types of therapy to help teens with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy improve their balance and coordination. One group will use mixed reality (a blend of real and virtual environments) and the other group will do standard physical therapy exercises.
Mansehra, KpkAges 10–19 - NCT07673289Recruiting
Hand dexterity therapy for children with cerebral palsy
This study compares two hand therapy techniques to see which one better improves hand coordination in children with cerebral palsy. The goal is to help children use their hands more easily in daily activities.
Lalian, Punjab ProvinceAges 8–13 - NCT06672328Recruiting
Can watching movements boost function in kids with CP?
This study tests whether watching and then practicing movements (action observation training) can improve everyday functional skills in children with spastic cerebral palsy. It could help children move better and more independently.
IslamabadAges 5–12 - NCT06658236Recruiting
Arm and breathing exercises for cerebral palsy
This study tests two types of exercises: one that uses guided arm and shoulder movements (called PNF) and another that focuses on deep breathing (chest expansion). The goal is to see if these exercises can help children with cerebral palsy move their arms better and breathe more easily.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges Any age - NCT07644572Enrolling by invitation
Personalized Nutrition Plan for Children With Cerebral Palsy
This study tests whether a customized nutrition plan can help children with cerebral palsy improve their health and development. Researchers will work with your child's family to create a tailored eating plan and track how it affects their growth and well-being over time.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 6–12 - NCT07622875Enrolling by invitation
Electrical Stimulation for Breathing in Cerebral Palsy
This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation of the diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe) can improve lung function in children with cerebral palsy who have significant mobility limitations. The goal is to see if this non-invasive treatment can help strengthen breathing and improve quality of life.
AnkaraAges 5–18 - NCT07626424Recruiting
Vibration therapy for drooling in children with cerebral palsy
This study tests whether gentle vibration applied to the chin and neck area can reduce drooling in children with cerebral palsy. Drooling affects many children with cerebral palsy and can cause skin irritation; this trial explores a non-surgical treatment option.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cerebral palsy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 235 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.
