Recruiting studies
- NCT06857539Recruiting
Assessing thinking and movement in high-risk infants
This study looks at how high-risk infants (especially those born early or with brain concerns) develop their thinking and movement skills over time, comparing them to healthy babies. The goal is to better understand and support their development.

Compare three surgeries for late hip dislocation in non-walking children with CP
This trial looks at which surgery works best for children with cerebral palsy who do not walk and have a neglected, deformed hip that has dislocated for a long time. The goal is to compare outcomes after three different hip procedures.
Cairo, AbbasiaAges Any age - NCT06693388Recruiting
Vibration and casting for kids with cerebral palsy
This study tests whether whole body vibration (standing on a gently shaking platform) plus leg casting can help children with cerebral palsy improve ankle flexibility and walking. It is for children who already need casting for tight ankles.
Columbus, OhioAges 3–17 - NCT06640894Recruiting
Power2Walk: strength training for kids with cerebral palsy
This study tests a type of strength training called functional power training for children with cerebral palsy. The goal is to see if it helps kids be more active and take part in daily activities.
Emmen, DrentheAges 4–12 - NCT06622655Recruiting
Home use of Agilik for children with cerebral palsy
This trial tests if using a device called Agilik at home can help children with cerebral palsy who have a crouched walking pattern. Crouch gait is when knees stay bent while walking, and the Agilik may help improve movement.
Bosisio Parini, LeccoAges 5–17 - 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 - 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 - NCT06438432Recruiting
Trunk exercises for young children with cerebral palsy
This study tests whether special trunk exercises can help young children with cerebral palsy improve their balance and walking. It compares children who do the exercises with those who get usual care.
NancyAges 1.5 years–6 years - NCT06554288RecruitingPhase 1
Trihexyphenidyl for dystonia in cerebral palsy
This study tests how a medicine called trihexyphenidyl works in children with dystonic cerebral palsy, a condition that causes muscle spasms. Researchers want to learn if a child’s genes affect how the medicine works and how the body processes it.
Kansas City, MissouriAges 5–17 - NCT06533956Recruiting
Walking training with blood flow restriction for children with cerebral palsy
This study tests a new walking program that combines treadmill training with a special pressure cuff on the legs (blood flow restriction). It may help children with cerebral palsy strengthen their legs and walk better.
AngersAges 8–18 - NCT06533293Recruiting
Robotic training for neck control in cerebral palsy
This study tests whether a robotic device can help children with cerebral palsy improve control of their head and neck. It is designed for children who need significant help with mobility and do not have other serious medical issues.
New York, New YorkAges 11–21 - NCT06448065Enrolling by invitation
Reliability of gait classification in children with cerebral palsy
This study looks at how reliable (consistent) the way doctors classify walking patterns in children with spastic cerebral palsy is. It only uses existing walking data already collected at the Karolinska Hospital, so no new visits or tests are needed.
StockholmAges 3–18 - NCT06454656Recruiting
Walking practice for kids with Cerebral Palsy
This study tests a motor learning program to help children with Cerebral Palsy improve their walking. If your child has a walking goal and a caregiver who can help at home, this could be a good fit.
Balrath, MeathAges 6–17 - NCT06377085Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Testing an old drug for tight muscles in kids with cerebral palsy
This trial tests a drug called 5-Azacytidine, which is being used in a new way—to help loosen tight muscles (contractures) in children with cerebral palsy. It aims to see if it can reduce the need for surgery.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 2–18 - NCT06347432Enrolling by invitation
Study to help kids with severe cerebral palsy gain independence
This trial tests a power wheelchair training system for children with severe cerebral palsy who cannot walk or use a manual wheelchair. It aims to help them move more independently using switches or a joystick.
Grand Rapids, MichiganAges 5–17 - NCT06320288Recruiting
Balance and movement study in children with cerebral palsy
This study looks at how children with cerebral palsy control their trunk and center of mass while walking. It may help understand balance challenges and guide future therapies.
NancyAges 1.5 years–18 years - 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 - 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 - NCT05576948Recruiting
Study of how cerebral palsy may develop in babies
This study follows infants who already have cerebral palsy or who seem at high risk to develop it. It looks at early brain and movement signs over time, which may help doctors recognize CP sooner and plan support.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 3 months–2 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.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 149 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.
