Bone and muscle health study for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how the bones and muscles of children with cerebral palsy grow and change, using special imaging and lab tests. It aims to find better ways to monitor and support bone and muscle health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child with cerebral palsy
- Under 18 years old
- Willing to sign an informed consent form
- Not currently taking bisphosphonates or with known bone disease

This study uses a new ultrasound technology called REMS to check bone health in children aged 5 to 18 who have conditions that weaken bones. It may help find low bone density without radiation.
This study looks at bone density (bone strength) in children and young people with cerebral palsy. It aims to understand how bone density changes and what might help improve bone health.
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 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.
This study tests a new type of bone density scan called REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi-Spectrometry) to see how well it works in British women. If you are a woman over 20, you may be eligible to help researchers understand if this faster, radiation-free scan can replace traditional methods.
This trial tests whether transplanting cells from a child's own bone marrow, combined with rehabilitation therapy, can improve movement and function in young children with cerebral palsy caused by birth-related brain injury or bleeding. The goal is to see if this approach helps children move better and become more independent.
