Cord blood infusion for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether an infusion of human umbilical cord blood can help improve symptoms in children and teens with cerebral palsy. It is a phase 1 study, meaning the main goal is to check safety and find the right dose.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Must have a confirmed diagnosis of cerebral palsy.
- Must have a motor disability that is not getting worse over time.
- Must have brain dysfunction (such as seizures, intellectual disability, or other brain-related issues).

This trial gives children with brain injuries an infusion of stem cells from their own or a sibling's umbilical cord blood, or from a matched donor. The goal is to see if these cells can help repair brain damage and improve function.
This trial tests whether a single infusion of stem cells from donated umbilical or placental tissue is safe for people with cerebral palsy. It may help reduce symptoms, but the main goal is to check 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.
This study tests whether arm or leg exercises with a special band that partly blocks blood flow, combined with strength training, can improve muscle strength in children with cerebral palsy. It is designed for young children who have some stiffness on one side and can walk with support.
This study tests whether a mild electrical stimulation applied to the skin over the spine can help children with cerebral palsy improve their movement and walking. Researchers will compare children who receive this treatment with children who don't have cerebral palsy to see if it makes a real difference.
This study tests whether an infusion of stem cells from umbilical cord blood can help people recover from a recent ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel) who have paralysis on one side of their body. The treatment aims to improve recovery and reduce disability.
