Understanding types and brain scans in children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at different types, risk factors, and brain imaging results in children with cerebral palsy. It may help improve understanding and care for your child.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Diagnosed with cerebral palsy (a group of permanent movement and posture problems caused by a non-worsening brain injury that happened during pregnancy, birth, or infancy)
- Aged between 6 months and 16 years old
- No known chromosomal or genetic syndrome
- No progressive condition that is causing the movement or posture problems to worsen

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is looking at how common different health problems are in children with cerebral palsy, and which problems often happen together. It may help clinicians plan better care by understanding the most frequent additional needs.
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 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 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 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 uses surveys and brain imaging (MRI) to look for patterns that match chronic pain in people with cerebral palsy, and compares them with people without cerebral palsy. It may help researchers better understand what brain features relate to chronic pain.
