Trunk Training for Children With Cerebral Palsy
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a special trunk (core) exercise program for children with spastic cerebral palsy. It is done at home using video calls, and may help improve trunk control and daily activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be diagnosed with spastic type cerebral palsy.
- They should be between 9 and 18 years old.
- They must be at GMFCS levels 1, 2, or 3 (able to walk with or without help).
- No Botox injections in arms or legs in the past 6 months.
- No diagnosis of intellectual disability (mental retardation).
- No severe vision or hearing problems that would interfere with treatment.
- Must have internet access and a device like a smartphone, tablet, or computer at home.
- No other neurological disorder besides cerebral palsy.

This study tests whether special exercises focusing on your trunk (core and back) can improve your arm and hand function, as well as your ability to control your body. It is for teens with cerebral palsy who can walk and speak clearly.
This trial tests if a specific type of physical therapy—task-oriented circuit training—helps children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy move better and take part in more activities. It may be a good fit for children with mild motor challenges who haven't had recent treatments or surgeries.
This study tests an activity-based walking program for children with cerebral palsy who do not walk much or at all. The program uses a harness system to support the child while they practice walking. The goal is to see if this therapy helps improve mobility.
This study looks at how special trunk (core) exercises or positioning affect movement and muscle control in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). It may help families understand which trunk-focused interventions improve function and comfort.
This study tests whether special trunk exercises can help young children with cerebral palsy improve their balance and walking. It compares children who do the exercises with those who get usual care.
This trial compares two types of exercises—trunk stabilization and core stability—to see which better improves balance and walking in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
