Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 6–17 - NCT06536634Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for arm function in kids with hemiparesis
This study tests if gentle electrical stimulation of the skin on the weaker arm can improve hand function in children who have weakness on one side due to a brain injury before age 16. The results will help understand how the stimulation works and whether it can help with daily activities.
BernAges 6–18 - NCT06585618Recruiting
Pediatric Deep Brain Stimulation Registry
This study creates a list of children who already have or plan to get Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) to see how it helps with movement problems. Joining helps doctors learn more about how DBS works in kids.
Boston, MassachusettsAges birth–18 years - NCT06606574Recruiting
Baclofen pump for children with cerebral palsy and dystonia
This study tests if a pump that delivers baclofen directly into the spinal fluid can help children with cerebral palsy who have severe dystonia (uncontrolled muscle tightness). It looks at how well the treatment works and tracks progress over time.
Houston, TexasAges Up to 17 years - NCT06629324RecruitingPhase 2
Bone marrow cell transplant for cerebral palsy from brain hypoxia
This trial tests whether transplanting bone marrow cells can help children with spastic cerebral palsy caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain. It may improve movement and daily function.
HanoiAges 1–10 - NCT06643598Recruiting
Virtual and lived-experience support for newborns with brain challenges
This study tests whether a program that combines virtual support and a peer who has been through it can help parents of newborns with certain brain conditions. It is designed for families living in rural areas and aims to improve children's recovery.
Madison, WisconsinAges Up to 5 years - 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 - 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 - NCT06710301Recruiting
Navigation skills in virtual reality for children with CP
This study uses a virtual reality headset to understand how children with and without cerebral palsy navigate spaces. Results may help design better therapies for spatial skills.
Bosisio Parini, LCAges 8–17 - NCT06737471Recruiting

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.
