Brain-powered virtual reality game for arm training in kids with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses a virtual reality game controlled by brain activity to help children with cerebral palsy improve arm and hand movement. It also includes typically developing children to see how the game works for everyone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 6 and 17 years old.
- If you have cerebral palsy, it must affect one or both sides (hemiplegic or diplegic).
- You must be able to follow simple instructions.
- If you have cerebral palsy, you must not have had arm surgery in the past year or botox in the arm in the past six months.
- If you are a typically developing child, you must be in good physical health and not have any diagnosed developmental disorders or chronic conditions.

This study tests whether a special immersive virtual reality therapy can help children with cerebral palsy improve their motor skills. It also looks at how the brain responds during the therapy. The study is a pilot, meaning it's a small first step to see if the treatment is promising.
This study uses a 3D video game to evaluate arm and hand movement in children with conditions like cerebral palsy, stroke, or brain injury. Participation may help improve understanding of arm impairments and guide future treatments.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality (a computer-generated 3D environment) can help improve balance in children with cerebral palsy. It involves regular sessions using VR games designed to challenge balance, with the goal of making daily movements easier.
This study tests if playing virtual reality games with a humanoid robot can help children with cerebral palsy improve arm function. Your child would play fun games while using their arm, which may strengthen movement and coordination.
This study compares two types of arm therapy for children with cerebral palsy: one uses virtual reality games, and the other uses traditional exercises. The goal is to see which one helps improve arm and hand movement better.
This study tests whether virtual reality exercises or task-based training help improve arm and hand use in teenagers with cerebral palsy. It compares two types of upper-limb therapy to see which is more effective.
