Screening sleep problems in children with cerebral palsy
This trial checks a new way to find sleep problems in children with cerebral palsy using connected tools (like devices/apps). It mainly helps by making sleep screening easier and more accurate, so families can get the right next steps sooner.
AngersAges 6–15 - NCT04199299Recruiting
Communication sensors for people who can’t express needs clearly
This trial tests a wearable sensor system that may help people who have difficulty communicating their needs clearly. It may capture signals from the body so caregivers and devices can better understand reactions and needs.
OsloAges 5–80 - 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 - NCT05417399Recruiting
Walking focus and distraction in cerebral palsy
This study looks at how paying attention to walking or doing another task at the same time affects walking in children with cerebral palsy. It may help understand how to improve training and therapy.
Enschede, OverijsselAges 4–16 - 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 - NCT05520359Recruiting
Testing spinal stimulation and devices to improve movement
This study tests spinal stimulation and mobility-related devices to see if they can improve how well you move. You would visit a lab, do simple movement tasks, and share feedback about comfort and what you experience.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 4–70 - NCT05649930Recruiting
Power training for tight calf muscles in children with spastic paresis
This trial tests whether a specific exercise program that strengthens leg muscle power can improve calf muscle length and strength in children with spastic paresis (stiffness from the brain or nerves). If it works, it may help children move more easily and build stronger calves.
AmsterdamAges 4–18 - NCT05726591Recruiting
Robotic exoskeleton study to improve walking in children
This study looks at how safely using a pediatric robotic exoskeleton over the long term can improve how children walk. It’s for children ages 3–17 who have certain movement or spine-related conditions and who can meet walking and joint-movement requirements.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–17 - NCT05765643Recruiting
Mobile app support for parents managing children’s symptoms
This study tests a smartphone app meant to help parents manage their child’s symptoms at home. You may be able to join if you’re a parent of a medically complex child and can use the app in Chinese.
Kowloon, KowloonAges 2–18 - NCT05764681Recruiting

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.
