This study tests whether using an iPad communication app helps children with Down syndrome or cerebral palsy who have trouble speaking. It looks at how their language skills grow over time.
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.
Hanoi, HanoiAges 6 months–18 years - NCT06848959Recruiting
Better diagnosis and treatment for children's brain conditions
This study is building a smarter way to diagnose and treat brain conditions in children, such as cerebral palsy, ADHD, and autism. It uses advanced computer models to help doctors provide better care.

Guided hip growth for children with cerebral palsy
This trial tests a surgery to help guide the growth of the hip bone in children with cerebral palsy whose hips are at risk of slipping out of place. The goal is to prevent hip dislocation and avoid more complex surgery later.
A Coruña, A CoruñaAges 3–8 - NCT06991725Recruiting
Botulinum toxin for children with CP: benefits vs harm
This study looks at how botulinum toxin injections affect the muscles of children with spastic cerebral palsy, comparing them to typically developing children to understand the balance between treatment benefits and potential muscle damage.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 2–16 - NCT07021638Recruiting
Walking training at home in virtual reality for children with chronic illnesses
This trial tests a home-based walking program using virtual reality games to help children with chronic conditions like cerebral palsy, obesity, or neuromuscular disease improve their walking and physical activity. It's designed to see if training at home with VR is effective and enjoyable.
AngersAges 6–17 - NCT06527469Enrolling by invitation

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cerebral palsy children?
- 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.
