Brain-computer interface study for teens with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a brain-computer interface (a device that reads brain signals) can help teenagers with cerebral palsy improve wrist movement in their affected arm. It may offer a new way to strengthen arm function without surgery or needles.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 12 to 17 years old
- Have moderate to severe cerebral palsy affecting one side of the body (hemiparetic CP)
- Have a goal to improve wrist extension in the affected arm
- Be able to sit supported for at least 30 minutes
- Have normal or corrected vision and hearing

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it can improve hand function in teenagers with spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsy. If your child qualifies, they may receive this gentle electrical stimulation during therapy sessions, which could help them use their hands better.
This study tests if a brain-computer interface (a device that reads brain signals) can help children and teens with severe physical or communication challenges do things at home, like moving a cursor or expressing themselves.
This trial tests a surgically implanted brain-computer interface (BCI) device designed to help people with severe arm paralysis—from conditions like ALS or stroke—regain some ability to control their arms. The device reads signals from your brain and translates them into arm movements, potentially helping you perform daily activities.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface system that helps move your arm using electrical stimulation. It is for people who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago and have lasting weakness in one arm.
This trial studies a brain-computer system that helps control electrical stimulation to improve arm movement after a spinal cord injury. It may help with functional use of the upper limbs during rehabilitation if you meet the specific injury, spasticity, and safety requirements.
This trial tests a brain-computer interface system that helps people move their arm after a recent stroke. It might help improve arm strength and control.
