Recruiting studies in California
- NCT05781438Recruiting
In-home standing and walking help for infants at CP risk
This study tests a program that helps infants stand and walk at home. It may help babies with cerebral palsy—or those at high risk—by improving movement and function in a safe, supported way.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 5 months–2 years - NCT06096272Recruiting
Using augmented reality to help kids with cerebral palsy be more active
This trial tests if using an augmented reality game on a tablet can help children with cerebral palsy walk and move more each day. It could be an option if your child can walk on their own and doesn't have upcoming leg surgery.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 5–18 - 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 - NCT06189781RecruitingPhase 4
Pain shot vs epidural for hip surgery in kids with cerebral palsy
This study compares a pain injection to epidural anesthesia for children with cerebral palsy having hip surgery. The goal is to see which method provides better pain control during and after the procedure.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Up to 18 years - 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.

What taking part in a cerebral palsy study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there cerebral palsy clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 6 recruiting cerebral palsy studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a cerebral palsy study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a cerebral palsy trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
