Cerebral palsy risk factors and brain imaging study
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at what causes cerebral palsy in children and what brain scans show. It may help doctors better understand different types of cerebral palsy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have cerebral palsy (a permanent movement and posture disorder caused by a non-progressive brain problem from when you were a baby or before birth).
- You must be between 6 months and 16 years old.
- You must not have a known chromosomal problem or genetic syndrome.
- Your movement problems must not be getting worse over time (no progressive condition).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study follows infants who already have cerebral palsy or who seem at high risk to develop it. It looks at early brain and movement signs over time, which may help doctors recognize CP sooner and plan support.
This study uses safe MRI scans during natural sleep to look at how babies' brains develop, especially those at risk for cerebral palsy. It aims to find early signs of movement problems so treatment can start sooner.
This study looks at early brain scans and other markers to help predict and improve outcomes for newborns with brain injuries that might lead to cerebral palsy. It aims to find better ways to identify these high-risk babies early.
This study looks at how the brain changes over time in people with cerebral palsy by reviewing MRI scans done as part of their regular care. It aims to understand brain health in adults with cerebral palsy.
This study looks at whether MRI scans taken when babies are 6 months to 2 years old can help predict if they will develop cerebral palsy. It focuses on infants who had risk factors for brain injury, such as being born very early or with a low birth weight.
This trial looks at an early intervention for very young babies who show signs they may develop cerebral palsy. The goal is to improve development as early as possible, especially in babies with concerning brain scan findings or movement patterns.
