Botox for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a Botox (botulinum toxin) injection can improve arm and leg movement in children with cerebral palsy. It is for kids ages 8–17 who have stiffness mainly on one side and can walk well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must have spastic hemiparesis cerebral palsy (tight muscles mainly on one side).
- They should be in GMFCS Level I or II (able to walk without help or with a little help).
- Your child must be between 8 and 17 years old.
- If they've had Botox before, it must be at least 6 months since the last shot.
- They should be able to follow simple instructions for physical tests.
