NancyAges 1.5 years–6 years - 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 - NCT05576948Recruiting
Study of how cerebral palsy may develop in babies
This study follows infants who already have cerebral palsy or who seem at high risk to develop it. It looks at early brain and movement signs over time, which may help doctors recognize CP sooner and plan support.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 3 months–2 years - 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 - NCT06533293Recruiting
Robotic training for neck control in cerebral palsy
This study tests whether a robotic device can help children with cerebral palsy improve control of their head and neck. It is designed for children who need significant help with mobility and do not have other serious medical issues.
New York, New YorkAges 11–21 - 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 - NCT06813586Recruiting
Study of cerebral palsy cases in Italy
This study observes children with cerebral palsy to better understand how common it is in Italy. It may help improve care and resources for people with CP.
Brindisi, ApuliaAges 4–18 - NCT07289360Recruiting
Bootle Blast trial for teens with cerebral palsy
This study tests a video game designed to help children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy improve use of their affected hand. Kids play at home for 12 weeks and come to the clinic 3 times.
Ajax, OntarioAges 6–17 - NCT07390760Recruiting
Blood Flow Cuff and Reflex Changes in Children with CP
This study tests if a gentle blood flow cuff (like a blood pressure cuff) on the arm can improve muscle reflexes and movement in children with cerebral palsy. It aims to help with walking and coordination.
Greenville, North CarolinaAges 8–17 - 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 - NCT03413566Enrolling by invitation
Studying health issues in children with cerebral palsy
This study is looking at how common different health problems are in children with cerebral palsy, and which problems often happen together. It may help clinicians plan better care by understanding the most frequent additional needs.
Ages 5–18 - NCT07752030Enrolling by invitation
Measuring treatment effects in cerebral palsy
This study looks at how well different treatments work for people with cerebral palsy. It may help doctors understand which treatments are best for improving walking and movement.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 16–30 - NCT06320288Recruiting
Balance and movement study in children with cerebral palsy
This study looks at how children with cerebral palsy control their trunk and center of mass while walking. It may help understand balance challenges and guide future therapies.
NancyAges 1.5 years–18 years - NCT07747974Recruiting
Therapy for spastic cerebral palsy in children
This study compares two types of hand and arm therapy to help children with spastic cerebral palsy use their affected side better. Children will either practice with the affected hand through special exercises or use mirror therapy, which uses a mirror to create the illusion of movement.
IslamabadAges 5–9 - NCT06320106Recruiting
Navigating abilities in children with cerebral palsy
This study compares how children with cerebral palsy and their peers navigate spaces. It aims to understand differences in orientation and movement skills.
Bosisio Parini, LeccoAges 13 years+ - NCT06461923Recruiting
Home walking therapy for children with cerebral palsy
This study tests a home-based walking therapy program using special shoe insoles that track your child's walking patterns. The goal is to see if it helps improve walking in children with cerebral palsy.
Seoul, Seodaemun-guAges 7–18 - NCT06533956Recruiting
Walking training with blood flow restriction for children with cerebral palsy
This study tests a new walking program that combines treadmill training with a special pressure cuff on the legs (blood flow restriction). It may help children with cerebral palsy strengthen their legs and walk better.
AngersAges 8–18 - NCT06730763Recruiting
Brain stimulation to reduce fall risk in children with cerebral palsy
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation (called tDCS) can help children with cerebral palsy (spastic hemiplegia) improve their balance and reduce falls. The goal is to see if it makes walking safer and easier.

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.
