Blenderized formula for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a commercial blenderized formula (a real-food tube feeding) can improve calorie needs, stomach symptoms, and gut health in children with cerebral palsy who already use a g-tube. It may help find a more natural feeding option for kids who tolerate standard formulas poorly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has a diagnosis of cerebral palsy.
- They get more than 75% of their daily calories from a commercial formula through a g-tube (at least 12 French size).
- Your insurance covers a special blenderized tube feeding formula.
- Your child's weight is not too low or too high for their age on a CP-specific growth chart.
- They do not have a rapidly worsening neurological disease or use a special monomeric formula.
- Feeds go into the stomach, not past it (no transpyloric or jejunal tube).

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 trial tests a special exercise program that combines strength training with resistance for children and teens with cerebral palsy. The goal is to see if it helps improve movement, strength, and daily function.
This study tests a therapy that combines thinking, sensing, and movement exercises for children with cerebral palsy. It aims to improve motor skills and daily function.
This trial tests whether progressive resistance training can improve function in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. It may help kids walk better and move more easily.
This study tests if a blended tube-feeding formula made from real food is easy to tolerate and acceptable for people who already use a gastrostomy tube. It may be a good option if you or your child need extra nutrition through a tube.
This trial studies whether changing how thick your tube-feeding formula is can improve stomach symptoms like nausea, bloating, feeling full too soon, and early fullness. It may help people who mostly receive nutrition through a feeding tube and have moderate upper-GI symptoms.
