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 - NCT06584851Recruiting
3D muscle study in children with cerebral palsy
This study uses a special 3D microscope to look at muscle structure in children with cerebral palsy. It aims to understand muscle stiffness by comparing tiny muscle samples taken during a scheduled procedure that already requires general anesthesia.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 2–9 - 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 - 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 - 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+ - NCT05447299Enrolling by invitation
Muscle and spasticity testing using MRI modeling
This study uses an MRI scan and movement measurements to better understand muscle tightness (spasticity) in children with cerebral palsy. It may help researchers improve how spasticity is evaluated and modeled to support future treatments.
StockholmAges 5–18 - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT05518565Recruiting
Study muscle changes in people with cerebral palsy
This study looks at how muscles work in the body in people with cerebral palsy or an acquired brain injury. It may help researchers understand muscle structure and changes over time, which could guide future treatments.
StockholmAges 2–18 - NCT06118736Recruiting
Guided bone growth to prevent hip problems in children with cerebral palsy
This trial tests a surgery to guide the growth of the upper thigh bone (femur) to keep the hip joint from sliding out of place in children with spastic cerebral palsy. It aims to prevent further hip migration and avoid more serious hip problems later.
AmsterdamAges 2–8 - NCT06343688Recruiting
How ankle braces affect motor skills in CP
This study tests how wearing special ankle braces (called DAFOs) right away affects movement and balance in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. It aims to see if the braces make it easier to walk and stand.
BoluAges 4–15 - NCT07394608Recruiting
Vagus nerve stimulation for teens with cerebral palsy
This trial tests if a gentle, non-invasive nerve stimulation (using a device placed on the neck) can improve hand and movement function in adolescents with spastic cerebral palsy. It aims to find new ways to help with rehabilitation.
New York, New YorkAges 12–17 - NCT07367477Enrolling by invitation
Horizontal vs. vertical arm exercises for children with cerebral palsy
This study compares two types of arm and hand exercises (horizontal vs. vertical movements) for children with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy. It aims to see which type helps improve upper body function the most.
CairoAges 5–8 - NCT06846190Recruiting
Modified arm therapy versus virtual reality for children with cerebral palsy
This study compares two types of therapy to help children with cerebral palsy use their weaker arm better. One therapy involves gently restraining the strong arm to encourage use of the weaker arm, and the other uses virtual reality games to practice arm movements.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 6–12 - NCT06128746Recruiting
Magnetic brain stimulation for arm stiffness in children with hemiplegia
This trial tests whether a magnetic stimulation treatment (called rTMS) can help reduce muscle stiffness in children with hemiplegia caused by a brain injury. The treatment is non-invasive and may improve arm movement.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 4–18 - NCT04992871Recruiting
Swiss Cerebral Palsy Registry
This registry study collects information about people with cerebral palsy in Switzerland. It helps researchers better understand CP and related needs over time, which can support future care and studies.
AarauAges birth+ - NCT06881407Recruiting
Robot and VR games to improve arm use in kids with cerebral palsy
This study tests if playing virtual reality games with a humanoid robot can help children with cerebral palsy improve arm function. Your child would play fun games while using their arm, which may strengthen movement and coordination.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 5–21 - 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.
