Grand Rapids, MichiganAges 3–8 - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT07673289Recruiting
Hand dexterity therapy for children with cerebral palsy
This study compares two hand therapy techniques to see which one better improves hand coordination in children with cerebral palsy. The goal is to help children use their hands more easily in daily activities.
Lalian, Punjab ProvinceAges 8–13 - NCT05197946Recruiting
Imaging study comparing brain changes in cerebral palsy and typical people
This study uses surveys and brain imaging (MRI) to look for patterns that match chronic pain in people with cerebral palsy, and compares them with people without cerebral palsy. It may help researchers better understand what brain features relate to chronic pain.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 8 years+ - NCT07488429Recruiting
Brain stimulation plus therapy for leg function in cerebral palsy
This study tests whether combining a gentle brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) with physical therapy can help improve leg movement and reduce muscle stiffness in children with cerebral palsy. The goal is to see if this combination works better than therapy alone.
AnkaraAges 5–18 - NCT07493096Recruiting
Intensive therapy program for children with brain-based conditions
This trial tests an intensive therapy program designed to help children with brain-based conditions like cerebral palsy or autism improve their skills in movement, thinking, and daily activities. The program runs for 2 weeks with daily sessions, and researchers will check for changes in your child's abilities.
The Woodlands, TexasAges 4–12 - NCT07500896Recruiting
Dance program for children with cerebral palsy
This study tests if a fun, rhythmic dance program can help children with cerebral palsy improve their learning skills. It compares the dance program to usual care to see if dancing helps with thinking and moving.
Toulouse, OccitanieAges 6–17 - NCT07504640Recruiting
Spinal manipulation for heart health in children with cerebral palsy
This study tests whether a gentle spinal adjustment can improve how the heart adapts to stress in children with cerebral palsy. It may help your child's body handle daily challenges better.
LvivAges 4–18 - NCT07516067Recruiting
Spinal Cord Stimulation to Help Children With Cerebral Palsy Move Better
This study tests whether a mild electrical stimulation applied to the skin over the spine can help children with cerebral palsy improve their movement and walking. Researchers will compare children who receive this treatment with children who don't have cerebral palsy to see if it makes a real difference.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 5–17 - NCT07539389Recruiting
Robot-Assisted Walking Training for Children With Cerebral Palsy
This study tests whether a robotic device called Bambini Kids can safely help children with cerebral palsy improve their walking and movement. The robot assists with gait training—guided walking practice—to see if it helps strengthen muscles and improve mobility.
Songpa, SeoulAges 2–10 - NCT07612371Recruiting
Brain Training for Cerebral Palsy Motor Skills
This study tests whether imagining movements and watching others move can help children with cerebral palsy (a condition affecting one side of the body) improve their motor function and everyday abilities. Researchers want to see if these mental and visual techniques work better than standard care.
IstanbulAges 7–16 - NCT07626424Recruiting
Vibration therapy for drooling in children with cerebral palsy
This study tests whether gentle vibration applied to the chin and neck area can reduce drooling in children with cerebral palsy. Drooling affects many children with cerebral palsy and can cause skin irritation; this trial explores a non-surgical treatment option.
VanAges 2–18 - NCT07644572Enrolling by invitation
Personalized Nutrition Plan for Children With Cerebral Palsy
This study tests whether a customized nutrition plan can help children with cerebral palsy improve their health and development. Researchers will work with your child's family to create a tailored eating plan and track how it affects their growth and well-being over time.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 6–12 - NCT07622875Enrolling by invitation
Electrical Stimulation for Breathing in Cerebral Palsy
This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation of the diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe) can improve lung function in children with cerebral palsy who have significant mobility limitations. The goal is to see if this non-invasive treatment can help strengthen breathing and improve quality of life.
AnkaraAges 5–18 - NCT07264166Enrolling by invitation
Gene therapy trial for cerebral palsy and HIE
This trial tests a gene therapy given as a nose spray for people with cerebral palsy or HIE. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and helps improve movement over two years.
Monterrey, Nuevo LeónAges 2–65 - NCT07007858Enrolling by invitation
Stretch therapy for leg stiffness in kids with CP

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cerebral palsy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 249 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.
