Somatosensory stimulation for cerebral palsy mobility
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation on the skin can improve movement and daily function in adults with cerebral palsy who have limited mobility.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult between 18 and 50 years old
- You have a medical diagnosis of cerebral palsy
- Your walking ability is at level I, II, or III on the GMFCS scale (mild to moderate difficulty)
- You can participate in assessments with help from the study team
- You understand the consent form or have a legal guardian who can agree for you

This study tests a short-term treatment that uses mild electrical stimulation on the back to help reduce leg stiffness and improve walking in people with cerebral palsy. It may help you move more easily.
This study tests whether a mild electrical stimulation applied to the skin over the spine can help children with cerebral palsy improve their movement and walking. Researchers will compare children who receive this treatment with children who don't have cerebral palsy to see if it makes a real difference.
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 trial tests whether combining functional electrical stimulation (a gentle electric current that helps muscles move) with core strengthening exercises can improve walking and posture in young children with spastic diplegia, a type of cerebral palsy. It aims to reduce stiffness and improve balance.
This study tests whether a noninvasive electrical stimulation applied to the outside of the body, paired with physical therapy, can improve movement and walking for people with neurologic conditions. You may be asked to complete regular therapy sessions and simple movement tasks while the team measures your progress.
This trial tests a new treatment for spastic cerebral palsy that uses gentle electrical stimulation on the spinal cord to help reduce muscle stiffness and improve movement, especially on one side of the body. The goal is to see if this can help people who have speech difficulties and whose condition is stable.
