Metabolism study in children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how the body uses energy in children with cerebral palsy who have low muscle mass. It compares them to healthy children to understand metabolism better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 2 and 18 years old.
- Your child has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair (GMFCS level IV or V) or is a healthy child being watched in the hospital for epilepsy.
- If your child has cerebral palsy, they have low muscle mass.
- You and your child can understand the study and follow instructions.
- Your child is not pregnant or breastfeeding (if applicable).

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.
This study looks at how well different treatments work for people with cerebral palsy. It may help doctors understand which treatments are best for improving walking and movement.
This study looks at how the body's energy use (metabolism) changes in children with a brain tumor before and after treatment. The goal is to understand how the tumor and its treatment affect the body, which may help improve care in the future.
This study looks at whether a supervised exercise program can improve health and well-being in children with mild cerebral palsy. It compares them with typically developing children who are not already in a regular exercise routine.
This trial tests a special nutrition program for children with cerebral palsy and autism spectrum disorder. It aims to see if the program improves health and development.
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.
