Recruiting studies
- 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 - 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 - NCT06881407Recruiting
Robot and VR games to improve arm use in kids with cerebral palsy
This study tests if playing virtual reality games with a humanoid robot can help children with cerebral palsy improve arm function. Your child would play fun games while using their arm, which may strengthen movement and coordination.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 5–21 - NCT06438432Recruiting
Trunk exercises for young children with cerebral palsy
This study tests whether special trunk exercises can help young children with cerebral palsy improve their balance and walking. It compares children who do the exercises with those who get usual care.
NancyAges 1.5 years–6 years - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT01840930Recruiting
Study of severe cerebral palsy in children
This study looks at children ages 2 to 10 who have severe, long-term cerebral palsy to better understand this condition. It may help clinicians learn what to expect and how to support children with the most significant mobility needs.
BronAges 2–10 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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.
Giza, Giza GovernorateAges 8–12 - 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+ - NCT06951568Recruiting
Somatosensory stimulation for cerebral palsy mobility
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation on the skin can improve movement and daily function in adults with cerebral palsy who have limited mobility.
BarcelonaAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT06448065Enrolling by invitation
Reliability of gait classification in children with cerebral palsy
This study looks at how reliable (consistent) the way doctors classify walking patterns in children with spastic cerebral palsy is. It only uses existing walking data already collected at the Karolinska Hospital, so no new visits or tests are needed.
StockholmAges 3–18 - 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 - NCT05835674Recruiting
Early brain screening and therapy planning for babies at CP risk
This trial aims to find and support babies who are at risk of cerebral palsy (CP) as early as possible. It checks specific early signs and brain or health risk factors, then helps determine whether early intervention might improve outcomes.
AalborgAges 3 months–1 year - NCT06486597Recruiting
Metabolism study in children with cerebral palsy
This study looks at how the body uses energy in children with cerebral palsy who have low muscle mass. It compares them to healthy children to understand metabolism better.
Copenhagen, Copenhagen ØAges 2–18 - NCT07118228Recruiting
Ultrasound study of muscle in children with spastic cerebral palsy
This study uses ultrasound to look at muscle shape and function in children with spastic cerebral palsy. It aims to see how these muscle features relate to movement abilities, which could help guide future treatments.
KocaeliAges 4–18 - NCT05593887Recruiting
Compare three surgeries for late hip dislocation in non-walking children with CP
This trial looks at which surgery works best for children with cerebral palsy who do not walk and have a neglected, deformed hip that has dislocated for a long time. The goal is to compare outcomes after three different hip procedures.
Cairo, AbbasiaAges Any age - NCT05497609Recruiting
Study of tiny muscle changes in children with cerebral palsy
This study follows children with cerebral palsy (and sometimes acquired brain injury) to learn how the muscles look and change over time at a very small, microscopic level. The results may help researchers better understand what’s happening in the muscles and guide future treatments.
StockholmAges 2–18 - NCT07611565Recruiting
Sensory therapy versus physical therapy for children with athetoid cerebral palsy
This study compares two types of therapy—sensory integration therapy (which uses activities to help the brain process movement and touch) and conventional physical therapy—to see which better improves movement and motor skills in children with athetoid cerebral palsy (a type of cerebral palsy affecting smooth, controlled movement).
Mansehra, KPKAges 6–12 - NCT06070233Recruiting
Radiosurgery for spasticity after stroke or injury
This trial tests a non-invasive radiation treatment (radiosurgery) to reduce severe muscle stiffness (spasticity) that hasn't improved with other treatments. It may help people with spasticity caused by stroke, spinal cord injury, or cerebral palsy.
Winter Park, FloridaAges 16 years+

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.
