Improving cognition, balance, and quality of life for kids with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial uses fun computer games to try to improve thinking, balance, and daily life for children with mild to moderate cerebral palsy. The games are designed specifically for kids and are meant to be helpful and enjoyable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must have a diagnosis of cerebral palsy.

This study compares three ways to help children with cerebral palsy improve movement: playing active video games with biofeedback, playing active video games alone, or doing standard physical therapy. The goal is to see which approach works best and is most engaging for kids.
This study tests whether a serious video game can improve walking and movement in children with cerebral palsy. It may help your child practice safer, more effective walking skills through guided play.
This study tests whether special 'brain gym' exercises help improve movement in children with cerebral palsy. It focuses on kids with mild spasticity on one side of the body, and may help improve their daily function.
This trial tests whether using virtual reality (a computer-generated 3D environment) can help improve balance in children with cerebral palsy. It involves regular sessions using VR games designed to challenge balance, with the goal of making daily movements easier.
This trial tests a special exercise program that combines strength training with resistance for children and teens with cerebral palsy. The goal is to see if it helps improve movement, strength, and daily function.
This trial tests whether playful hand and nerve exercises can improve grip strength and hand use in children with cerebral palsy. It may help children who have trouble with fine motor tasks.
