New home therapy for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a wearable device that gently stimulates the brain and nerves at home to improve movement in children with cerebral palsy. It aims to reduce muscle stiffness and help with daily activities like walking or using hands.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Ages 2 to 21 years old.
- Has spastic cerebral palsy with moderate to severe movement difficulties (GMFCS levels II, III, IV, or V).
- A parent or caregiver speaks English well enough for simple conversations.
- No seizures in the past year, and no epilepsy that is not well-controlled.
- No implanted devices like pacemakers, programmable shunts, or defibrillators.
- No botox injections or muscle/brain surgery in the past 6 months.

This study adds a mild electrical stimulation to the spinal nerves during a planned SDR surgery for children with cerebral palsy, to see if it helps improve movement more than the surgery alone.
This study tests whether a robotic device called Bambini Kids can safely help children with cerebral palsy improve their walking and movement. The robot assists with gait training—guided walking practice—to see if it helps strengthen muscles and improve mobility.
This trial tests a combination of two types of electrical stimulation—one applied to the head and one to the legs—to see if it helps improve walking and leg strength after a recent stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke within the last 14 days and can still walk with or without support.
This study tests a treatment that uses a gentle electrical current on the scalp (called transcranial direct current stimulation) along with virtual reality exercises to help improve walking and self-esteem in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
This trial tests if combining spinal cord stimulation with a drug called 5-azacitidine can improve movement and muscle control in children with cerebral palsy. It aims to help with daily activities like walking or using hands.
This study tests if a small electrical device can help improve walking in children with a certain type of cerebral palsy. The device sends gentle electrical pulses to leg muscles to help them move better, and the study will measure changes in walking.
