Nutritional supplement for muscle growth in cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a nutritional supplement can help build muscle in children with spastic cerebral palsy. It may be a good fit if you have trouble with walking and have not had certain treatments recently.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have spastic cerebral palsy (diagnosed by a specialist).
- Your walking ability is at a level where you can walk with some help (GMFCS level II or III).
- You have not had Botox injections in your leg muscles in the last 10 months.
- You have not had any orthopedic or neurosurgery in the past.
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study looks at how the muscles in the body grow in infants and young children with spastic cerebral palsy (a type of movement difference). It may help doctors better understand normal growth patterns and how care choices affect muscle development.
This study uses a special 3D microscope to look at muscle structure in children with cerebral palsy. It aims to understand muscle stiffness by comparing tiny muscle samples taken during a scheduled procedure that already requires general anesthesia.
This study tests a new way of strengthening muscles in children with cerebral palsy by targeting specific muscles during exercise. It aims to improve movement and function.
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.
This study looks at how botulinum toxin injections affect the muscles of children with spastic cerebral palsy, comparing them to typically developing children to understand the balance between treatment benefits and potential muscle damage.
This study tests whether a customized nutrition plan can help children with cerebral palsy improve their health and development. Researchers will work with your child's family to create a tailored eating plan and track how it affects their growth and well-being over time.
