NanjingAges 2–18 - NCT07341464Recruiting
Blended tube feeding for children and adults
This study tests if a blended tube-feeding formula made from real food is easy to tolerate and acceptable for people who already use a gastrostomy tube. It may be a good option if you or your child need extra nutrition through a tube.
NottinghamAges 1 year+ - NCT06872736RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Wearables for arm function in children with hemiparesis
This trial tests a wearable device to help children with unilateral cerebral palsy (weakness on one side) improve how they use their affected arm. It involves weekly sessions and using the device at home to track activity.
A Coruña, A CoruñaAges 3–8 - NCT07291479Recruiting
Behavioral assessment method for toddlers
This study looks at a new way to assess behavior in toddlers. It is for healthy children between 8 and 36 months old who were born full term and are meeting their developmental milestones.
Columbus, OhioAges 4 months–3 years - NCT07252713Recruiting
Home-based physical activity program for children with motor delays
This study tests a home-based physical activity program using special equipment and telehealth (video calls) to help young children with cerebral palsy or severe motor delays become more active. The program is done in your own home with your help and support.
Columbus, OhioAges 1–6 - NCT07244146Recruiting
Hand therapy for children with spastic cerebral palsy
This trial tests a therapy called CHRIST for children ages 6-12 who have spastic cerebral palsy affecting one side. The goal is to improve hand use and arm function.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 6–12 - NCT07244159Recruiting
Dynamic surface exercise for children with cerebral palsy
This study tests whether exercising on an unstable surface (like a foam mat or ball) can improve balance and movement in children with diplegic cerebral palsy. It may help kids who use a walker or wheelchair have better control and independence.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 5–8 - NCT07247812Recruiting
Spinal Cord Stimulation for Hand Function in Young People With Hemiplegic CP
This study tests a new way to help hand movement in young people with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. It uses a gentle electrical current on the spine (called transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation, or tSCS) to see if it can improve hand control and daily function.
LeedsAges 12–21 - NCT05018819RecruitingPhase 1
IV stem cell treatment for cerebral palsy safety
This trial tests whether an IV infusion of lab-grown stem cells from donated umbilical cord is safe for people with cerebral palsy. It mainly focuses on side effects and safety rather than proving it works.
St John'sAges Any age - NCT07189494Recruiting
Early brain markers for better outcomes in newborns
This study looks at early brain scans and other markers to help predict and improve outcomes for newborns with brain injuries that might lead to cerebral palsy. It aims to find better ways to identify these high-risk babies early.
ParisAges birth–2 years - NCT07173049Recruiting
Speech help for kids using a communication board
This study tests whether a communication board can help children with cerebral palsy or similar conditions speak more clearly. It is designed for kids who have trouble being understood but can still say a few words.

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.
