Ball exercises vs Frenkle for balance in ataxic cerebral palsy
This study compares two types of exercises (Swiss ball and Frenkle) to see which improves balance better in children with ataxic cerebral palsy. It may help your child gain better stability and coordination.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 5–8 - NCT07147933Recruiting
Treatment for crouch gait in cerebral palsy
This trial tests a treatment for children with cerebral palsy who have a crouched walking pattern, a forward-tilted pelvis, and weak calf muscles. It uses EMG to check muscle activity and aims to improve walking.
AmmanAges 4–10 - NCT06838403Recruiting
Reflex therapy for children with cerebral palsy and swallowing issues
This study tests if a special reflex therapy helps children with cerebral palsy improve mouth movements and reduce drooling, using a type of exercise called Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration.
GizaAges 1–4 - NCT05017051Recruiting
Testing brain function in adults with cerebral palsy
This trial measures how the brain and movement systems work in real-life (everyday) conditions. It may help researchers understand brain-related thinking and control problems in adults, and to compare them with healthy adults.
ClamartAges 18 years+ - NCT06111898Recruiting
Understanding movement in infants at risk
This study looks at how the brain and body work together to control movement in infants who are at high risk for developmental issues. It may help find early signs of motor problems.
GenevaAges 8 months–1 year - NCT07861958Recruiting
Wrist brace design for children with brain injury
This study asks children aged 6 to 14 who currently use a wrist brace to help design a better one. The goal is to make braces that are more comfortable and easier to use.
Bosisio PariniAges 6–14 - NCT07817745Recruiting
Surgical treatments for muscle stiffness in children
This study looks at how well two surgeries help reduce muscle stiffness in children. It may help improve movement and comfort.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 6–25 - NCT04467437Recruiting
Noninvasive brain and nerve stimulation with walking therapy
This study tests whether a noninvasive electrical stimulation applied to the outside of the body, paired with physical therapy, can improve movement and walking for people with neurologic conditions. You may be asked to complete regular therapy sessions and simple movement tasks while the team measures your progress.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 4–70 - NCT07745712Recruiting
Testing a robotic exoskeleton for children with walking difficulties
This trial tests a robotic exoskeleton called ABLE Kids to help children with walking difficulties due to neurological or muscle conditions. It checks if the device is safe and works well. Children who meet certain size and health requirements may be eligible to participate.
Girona, GironaAges Up to 17 years - NCT06637579Recruiting
Exercise Program for Walking in Children with Cerebral Palsy
This trial tests a special exercise program (Universal Exercise Unit) plus task-focused training for children with spastic cerebral palsy. It aims to help with walking, balance, and daily activities.
Sialkot, Punjab ProvinceAges 5–15 - NCT07686809Recruiting
Leg therapy for children with one-sided weakness
This study tests a new leg exercise program to help children with hemiplegia walk better. The therapy may improve balance and movement in the affected leg.
CairoAges 6–8 - NCT06673849Recruiting
Rhythmic Stabilization vs. Ball Balancing for CP Children
This study compares two therapy techniques—rhythmic stabilization and ball balancing—to see which helps children with spastic diplegia CP improve balance and movement. It's for children aged 6 to 12 with mild spasticity and normal intelligence.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 6–12 - NCT07664878Enrolling by invitation
AR-based walking rehab for children with cerebral palsy
This trial tests if augmented reality, a technology that overlays digital images on the real world, can help children with cerebral palsy improve their walking and motor skills through fun, guided exercises.
PragueAges 6–15 - NCT06673823Recruiting
Mirror therapy for leg movement in children with CP
This study tests whether mirror therapy—where your child watches the reflection of their good leg moving—can help improve movement in their affected leg. It is designed for children with cerebral palsy who have mild to moderate leg stiffness.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 6–12 - NCT05867940Recruiting
Exercise program for people with disabilities who are not active

Bone marrow cells and rehabilitation for cerebral palsy in young children
This trial tests whether transplanting cells from a child's own bone marrow, combined with rehabilitation therapy, can improve movement and function in young children with cerebral palsy caused by birth-related brain injury or bleeding. The goal is to see if this approach helps children move better and become more independent.

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.
