Dynamic surface exercise for children with cerebral palsy
This study tests whether exercising on an unstable surface (like a foam mat or ball) can improve balance and movement in children with diplegic cerebral palsy. It may help kids who use a walker or wheelchair have better control and independence.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 5–8 - 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 - NCT07252713Recruiting
Home-based physical activity program for children with motor delays
This study tests a home-based physical activity program using special equipment and telehealth (video calls) to help young children with cerebral palsy or severe motor delays become more active. The program is done in your own home with your help and support.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cerebral palsy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 250 recruiting cerebral palsy 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 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 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.
