Frisco, TexasAges 3 years–5.9 years - NCT06637579Recruiting
Exercise Program for Walking in Children with Cerebral Palsy
This trial tests a special exercise program (Universal Exercise Unit) plus task-focused training for children with spastic cerebral palsy. It aims to help with walking, balance, and daily activities.
Sialkot, Punjab ProvinceAges 5–15 - NCT07244081Recruiting
Movement therapy for arm use in children with cerebral palsy
This study tests whether a type of physical therapy called kinesiotherapy can improve arm and hand function and daily living skills in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (weakness on one side). It may help children who can follow simple directions and participate in therapy sessions.
Sialkot, Punjab ProvinceAges 8–13 - NCT06320496Recruiting
Can a physical activity recovery stay help your child?
This study is for children age 8 to 18 who have a long-term health condition (like a chronic illness, rare disease, or disability) and are in a program to help them start being active again. The trial will check if a special exercise recovery stay helps them get stronger and feel better.
NancyAges 8–18 - NCT07747974Recruiting
Therapy for spastic cerebral palsy in children
This study compares two types of hand and arm therapy to help children with spastic cerebral palsy use their affected side better. Children will either practice with the affected hand through special exercises or use mirror therapy, which uses a mirror to create the illusion of movement.
IslamabadAges 5–9 - NCT07747961Recruiting
Virtual reality games for children with cerebral palsy
This trial tests whether playing virtual reality games, designed as part of a rehab program, can help improve movement and daily skills in children with a specific type of cerebral palsy (spastic diplegia). It may be a fun and engaging way to support physical therapy.
IslamabadAges 7–15 - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT05197764Recruiting
Track muscle growth in young children with spastic cerebral palsy
This study looks at how the muscles in the body grow in infants and young children with spastic cerebral palsy (a type of movement difference). It may help doctors better understand normal growth patterns and how care choices affect muscle development.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 6 months–9 years - NCT05423171Recruiting
Extra hand-focused therapy for children with cerebral palsy
This trial tests an intensive therapy program that trains both hands together to improve hand use in children with cerebral palsy. It may help your child with everyday hand and arm skills, but it also requires meeting certain health, eye, and recent-treatment limits.
QuébecAges 6–17 - NCT05497609Recruiting
Study of tiny muscle changes in children with cerebral palsy
This study follows children with cerebral palsy (and sometimes acquired brain injury) to learn how the muscles look and change over time at a very small, microscopic level. The results may help researchers better understand what’s happening in the muscles and guide future treatments.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 161 recruiting cerebral palsy children 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 children 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 children 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.
