Extra hand-focused therapy for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests an intensive therapy program that trains both hands together to improve hand use in children with cerebral palsy. It may help your child with everyday hand and arm skills, but it also requires meeting certain health, eye, and recent-treatment limits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has cerebral palsy or spastic hemiparesis (with brain-related effects causing stiffness)
- Your child has hand/arm movement problems in one or both arms
- Your child can understand and do the study tasks (cognitive ability)
- Your child does not have a serious other health problem that would block the therapy or assessments
- Your child has not had Botox shots in either arm within the last 4 months
- Your child does not have major eye problems that can’t be corrected

This study tests a special hand and arm therapy for children with spastic cerebral palsy. The therapy also includes leg exercises to improve movement. It may help your child use their hands and arms better.
This study tests whether a therapy called HABIT-ILE (hand-arm bimanual intensive training) combined with a home program improves how well children with cerebral palsy use both hands together. It is for young children aged 3 to 5 years who have weakness on one side.
This trial tests an at-home intervention (called HABIT-ILE) for children with bilateral cerebral palsy, delivered over two weeks. It aims to see whether home-based therapy and assessments help children function better and whether families can follow the program.
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.
