Muscle and tendon health study in cerebral palsy
This study looks at muscle and tendon health in people with spastic cerebral palsy who are mildly to severely affected. It involves using a special running frame to see how it affects the body.
GrazAges 14–30 - NCT06532981Recruiting
How Ankle-Foot Braces Affect Muscle Activity in Children with CP
This study looks at how ankle-foot braces (AFOs) affect the electrical activity in the leg muscles of children with cerebral palsy. It may help understand if braces improve muscle function during walking.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 6–17 - NCT06673849Recruiting
Rhythmic Stabilization vs. Ball Balancing for CP Children
This study compares two therapy techniques—rhythmic stabilization and ball balancing—to see which helps children with spastic diplegia CP improve balance and movement. It's for children aged 6 to 12 with mild spasticity and normal intelligence.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 6–12 - 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 - 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 - NCT07065916Enrolling by invitation
Arm More + Camp: Helping kids with arm weakness
This trial tests a program called 'Arm More + Camp' to help kids and teens with arm weakness due to cerebral palsy or a brain injury improve their movement. It’s a group camp-style study that fits into the school year.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 5–17 - NCT06927869Enrolling by invitation
Pully exercise for managing muscle stiffness
This trial tests whether special pulley-based exercises can reduce muscle stiffness (spasticity) in children. Children with mild spasticity (grade 1 on a standard scale) who can follow instructions may participate.
TantaAges 5–10 - NCT07686809Recruiting
Leg therapy for children with one-sided weakness

CairoAges 6–8 - NCT06828653Recruiting
Comparing 3D-printed vs standard ankle braces for walking
This study compares custom-made ankle-foot braces made with a digital 3D printing method versus the traditional plaster cast method. It aims to find out which type is more comfortable and effective for people with conditions like cerebral palsy, stroke, or spinal cord injury who need a brace to help them walk better.
Mississauga, OntarioAges 8 years+ - NCT07090057Recruiting
Targeting the plantaris muscle in ankle surgery for children
