Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 5–18 - NCT07432789Recruiting
Testing a motion app for children with cerebral palsy
This study tests a smartphone app that measures how children with cerebral palsy move. It aims to see if the app can accurately track motor abilities, which could help doctors and families monitor progress more easily.
DijonAges 6–18 - NCT07433023RecruitingPhase 2
Spinal stimulation and drug therapy for motor skills in cerebral palsy
This trial tests if combining spinal cord stimulation with a drug called 5-azacitidine can improve movement and muscle control in children with cerebral palsy. It aims to help with daily activities like walking or using hands.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 4–17 - NCT07434492RecruitingPhase 2
Smart ankle brace and medicine to help kids with cerebral palsy walk better
This trial tests whether a smart ankle brace combined with a medicine called 5-azacitidine can improve walking ability in children with cerebral palsy. The study compares the medicine to a placebo to see if it helps enhance mobility.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 8–17 - 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.

Exercise program for kids with cerebral palsy
This trial tests a special exercise program that combines strength training with resistance for children and teens with cerebral palsy. The goal is to see if it helps improve movement, strength, and daily function.
ValenciaAges 10–18 - NCT07383753Recruiting
Virtual hand and arm assessments for kids with cerebral palsy
This study tests whether a virtual visit can assess hand and arm function in children with cerebral palsy. It may help families get care without traveling to a clinic.
Ajax, OntarioAges 6–17 - NCT07369193Recruiting
Virtual reality therapy for cerebral palsy motor skills
This study tests whether a special immersive virtual reality therapy can help children with cerebral palsy improve their motor skills. It also looks at how the brain responds during the therapy. The study is a pilot, meaning it's a small first step to see if the treatment is promising.
Calambrone, PisaAges 7–25 - NCT05317234Recruiting
Genetic testing study for children with cerebral palsy
This study looks for genetic reasons that may contribute to cerebral palsy. It may help families understand potential causes, especially when a specific genetic change is found.
BronAges 2–15 - NCT06494618Recruiting
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.
Istanbul, KadikoyAges 2–18 - NCT07321366Recruiting
Cold therapy for muscle stiffness in cerebral palsy
This study tests a cold treatment called cryoneurolysis to reduce painful muscle tightness in the shoulder or elbow for people with cerebral palsy. It is for those who have tried other treatments like injections or medications and found they didn't work well or weren't an option.
Lyon, RhôneAges 12 years+ - NCT07311018Recruiting
Electrical stimulation and motion games for hand function in cerebral palsy
This study tests whether combining electrical stimulation (a gentle muscle zapping) with fun hand exercises using a motion-sensor game can improve hand and wrist movement in children with cerebral palsy. It is designed for children who can move their arms and hands with some difficulty but are not too severely limited.
Istanbul, BeykozAges 6–15 - NCT07293988Recruiting
Calf muscle stiffness in adults with cerebral palsy
This study looks at a type of muscle stiffness called spastic myopathy in adults with cerebral palsy. It tests whether a specific treatment or evaluation can help improve walking and calf muscle flexibility.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cerebral palsy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 235 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.
