Brain and body training for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a therapy that combines thinking, sensing, and movement exercises for children with cerebral palsy. It aims to improve motor skills and daily function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 6 and 12 years old.
- Your child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy by a specialist.
- Your child can follow simple instructions and take part in therapy sessions.
- Your child can focus attention and is at level 2 or 3 on the Gross Motor Function Classification Scale (this means they can walk with some limits).
- Your child is at level 2 or 3 on the Manual Ability Classification System (this means they can handle objects with some difficulty).

This study tests whether combining brain stimulation with physical therapy can improve movement and muscle control in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Researchers will measure how the brain responds to this combined treatment.
This study tests whether simple 'brain gym' exercises can help children with cerebral palsy who have tightness on one side. It's for kids ages 6 to 8 who can walk but have mild muscle stiffness.
This trial tests if robot-assisted training helps improve motor skills in children with cerebral palsy who can walk without major aids. It compares them to children without brain injuries.
This trial tests an intensive therapy program that trains both hands together to improve hand use in children with cerebral palsy. It may help your child with everyday hand and arm skills, but it also requires meeting certain health, eye, and recent-treatment limits.
This study looks at how people’s arm/hand movement and attention-thinking skills work after brain injury or cerebral palsy. You might be invited to tasks and simple instructions to help researchers understand function and possible support strategies.
This study tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive brain stimulation technique—can improve movement and function in children and teens with cerebral palsy. Researchers will also measure brain activity changes using EEG to understand how the treatment works.
