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 - 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 - 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.
StockholmAges 2–18 - NCT05571033Recruiting
Training the ankle reflex in adults with spastic cerebral palsy
This study tests a method to retrain a reflex in the ankle to help reduce muscle tightness and improve movement in adults with spastic cerebral palsy. You would do controlled practice during the study while your usual medical care stays stable.
White Plains, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05593887Recruiting
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 - NCT05649930Recruiting
Power training for tight calf muscles in children with spastic paresis
This trial tests whether a specific exercise program that strengthens leg muscle power can improve calf muscle length and strength in children with spastic paresis (stiffness from the brain or nerves). If it works, it may help children move more easily and build stronger calves.
AmsterdamAges 4–18 - NCT06070233Recruiting
Radiosurgery for spasticity after stroke or injury
This trial tests a non-invasive radiation treatment (radiosurgery) to reduce severe muscle stiffness (spasticity) that hasn't improved with other treatments. It may help people with spasticity caused by stroke, spinal cord injury, or cerebral palsy.
Winter Park, FloridaAges 16 years+ - NCT06109129Recruiting
Mollii Suit study for children with cerebral palsy who can walk
This trial tests whether wearing a special suit (Mollii suit) helps children with cerebral palsy who can walk move better and feel less discomfort. It aims to see if the suit can improve daily life.
AnkaraAges 4–18 - NCT06122675Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for movement problems in children with cerebral palsy
This study tests whether deep brain stimulation (a small device placed in the brain that sends electrical pulses) can help improve movement problems in children and young adults with a certain type of cerebral palsy. The goal is to see if it can reduce involuntary movements like twisting or jerking.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 7–25 - NCT06231108Recruiting
Taping techniques for balance in children with cerebral palsy
This study compares two different taping methods to see which one helps improve balance in children with cerebral palsy. It may help your child with walking and moving more safely.
BoluAges 4–15 - 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.

Botulinum toxin plus shockwave for leg spasticity in cerebral palsy
This study tests if combining botulinum toxin injections with radial extracorporeal shockwave therapy (RESWT) works better than injection alone for reducing leg spasticity in children with cerebral palsy. If your child has spasticity in leg muscles and is already receiving botulinum toxin, they may benefit from this additional therapy.

- Are there clinical trials for cerebral palsy, spastic?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 103 recruiting cerebral palsy, spastic 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, spastic 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, spastic trial?
