Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 6–17 - NCT07090057Recruiting
Targeting the plantaris muscle in ankle surgery for children
This study tests if removing the plantaris muscle during surgery improves ankle movement in children with tight heel cords. It aims to see if this extra step leads to better outcomes.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 4–17 - NCT07244146Recruiting
Hand therapy for children with spastic cerebral palsy
This trial tests a therapy called CHRIST for children ages 6-12 who have spastic cerebral palsy affecting one side. The goal is to improve hand use and arm function.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 6–12 - NCT07438223Recruiting
Brain gym exercises for balance in children with spastic diplegia
This study tests whether simple 'brain gym' exercises can help children with spastic diplegia (a type of cerebral palsy) improve their balance and quality of life. It could be a good option if you have mild muscle stiffness and are between 6 and 8 years old.
Cairo, Faculty of Physical TherapyAges 6–8 - NCT05506228Recruiting
Muscle biopsy during surgery study in brain injury conditions
This study looks at how muscles are affected in children and teens with cerebral palsy or an acquired brain injury. Researchers take a small muscle tissue sample during surgery that you were already having for medical reasons, to better understand muscle changes.
StockholmAges 2–18 - NCT07686809Recruiting
Leg therapy for children with one-sided weakness
This study tests a new leg exercise program to help children with hemiplegia walk better. The therapy may improve balance and movement in the affected leg.
CairoAges 6–8 - NCT06473298Recruiting
Light tracking therapy for kids with one-sided muscle tightness
This study tests a special light-tracking activity to help children with spastic hemiplegia (tightness on one side) improve their movement. It's for kids ages 4–7 who can walk and have mild muscle tightness.
CairoAges 4–7 - NCT07247812Recruiting
Spinal Cord Stimulation for Hand Function in Young People With Hemiplegic CP
This study tests a new way to help hand movement in young people with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. It uses a gentle electrical current on the spine (called transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation, or tSCS) to see if it can improve hand control and daily function.
LeedsAges 12–21 - NCT06498596Recruiting
New ways to study movement in kids with movement disorders
This study tests new ways to measure movement (like walking and joint motion) in children and young adults. It's for people with cerebral palsy and healthy volunteers, to better understand movement differences.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 5–25 - NCT06518889Recruiting
Long-term results of nerve surgery for cerebral palsy
This study looks at children and teens with cerebral palsy who had selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) surgery to see how they are doing months to years later. It helps doctors understand the long-term benefits and risks.
LondonAges 7–90 - NCT07252713Recruiting
Home-based physical activity program for children with motor delays
This study tests a home-based physical activity program using special equipment and telehealth (video calls) to help young children with cerebral palsy or severe motor delays become more active. The program is done in your own home with your help and support.
Columbus, OhioAges 1–6 - NCT06278961Recruiting
Filming Baby Movements at Home
This study will record your baby's natural movements using a home video taken on your smartphone. It aims to learn how babies learn to move, whether they are healthy or have certain medical conditions.

Orlando, FloridaAges 3.5 years–5 years - NCT07527104Recruiting
Bone marrow cells and rehabilitation for cerebral palsy in young children
This trial tests whether transplanting cells from a child's own bone marrow, combined with rehabilitation therapy, can improve movement and function in young children with cerebral palsy caused by birth-related brain injury or bleeding. The goal is to see if this approach helps children move better and become more independent.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cerebral palsy children?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 159 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.
