Brain-computer interface study for teens with cerebral palsy
This trial tests whether a brain-computer interface (a device that reads brain signals) can help teenagers with cerebral palsy improve wrist movement in their affected arm. It may offer a new way to strengthen arm function without surgery or needles.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 12–17 - NCT07244081Recruiting
Movement therapy for arm use in children with cerebral palsy
This study tests whether a type of physical therapy called kinesiotherapy can improve arm and hand function and daily living skills in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (weakness on one side). It may help children who can follow simple directions and participate in therapy sessions.
Sialkot, Punjab ProvinceAges 8–13 - NCT07045519Recruiting
Vibration therapy for walking and balance in cerebral palsy
This study tests whether a gentle vibrating device applied to the legs can improve walking and balance in children with cerebral palsy. It may help reduce muscle tightness and make moving easier.
AnkaraAges 4–18 - NCT06818877Recruiting
Brain-powered virtual reality game for arm training in kids with cerebral palsy
This study uses a virtual reality game controlled by brain activity to help children with cerebral palsy improve arm and hand movement. It also includes typically developing children to see how the game works for everyone.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 6–17 - NCT06584851Recruiting
3D muscle study in children with cerebral palsy
This study uses a special 3D microscope to look at muscle structure in children with cerebral palsy. It aims to understand muscle stiffness by comparing tiny muscle samples taken during a scheduled procedure that already requires general anesthesia.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 2–9 - NCT06040619Recruiting
Therapy Together for children with cerebral palsy
This trial tests a therapy program called Therapy Together for children at risk for or diagnosed with cerebral palsy who have trouble using one hand. It aims to help them use their affected hand and arm more effectively.
Frisco, TexasAges 3 months–5.9 years - NCT05197764Recruiting
Track muscle growth in young children with spastic cerebral palsy
This study looks at how the muscles in the body grow in infants and young children with spastic cerebral palsy (a type of movement difference). It may help doctors better understand normal growth patterns and how care choices affect muscle development.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 6 months–9 years - NCT04992871Recruiting
Swiss Cerebral Palsy Registry
This registry study collects information about people with cerebral palsy in Switzerland. It helps researchers better understand CP and related needs over time, which can support future care and studies.
AarauAges birth+ - NCT05907837Recruiting
Early check and support for infants at risk for cerebral palsy
This study looks at early detection and early support for babies who are at higher risk of cerebral palsy and developmental delays. It may help by finding concerns sooner and starting help earlier.
CorkAges Up to 9 months - NCT07829770Recruiting
Brain stimulation with virtual reality for balance in cerebral palsy
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation combined with virtual reality exercises to see if it can improve balance and thinking skills in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. The treatment is non-invasive and aims to help with everyday movement and cognitive function.
IslamabadAges 8–16 - NCT07829796Recruiting
Brain stimulation and virtual reality for walking in children with cerebral palsy
This study tests a treatment that uses a gentle electrical current on the scalp (called transcranial direct current stimulation) along with virtual reality exercises to help improve walking and self-esteem in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
IslamabadAges 8–16 - NCT07747961Recruiting
Virtual reality games for children with cerebral palsy
This trial tests whether playing virtual reality games, designed as part of a rehab program, can help improve movement and daily skills in children with a specific type of cerebral palsy (spastic diplegia). It may be a fun and engaging way to support physical therapy.
IslamabadAges 7–15 - NCT06686719Recruiting
Stretching and relaxation for kids with spastic cerebral palsy
This trial compares three gentle stretching and muscle relaxation techniques to see which one best helps children with spastic cerebral palsy move more easily and feel less stiff. The goal is to find a safe, non-invasive way to improve daily function.
RawalpindiAges 8–18 - NCT07595744Recruiting
Sensory Walkway Training for Walking in Children With Cerebral Palsy
This study tests whether a special sensory walkway (a textured surface that stimulates the feet) can help children with diplegic cerebral palsy (a condition affecting movement in both legs) walk better and with improved coordination. The goal is to see if this training improves gait patterns and overall walking ability.
Dokki, Giza GovernorateAges 5–7 - NCT06813586Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cerebral palsy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 236 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.
