Electrical stimulation and motion games for hand function in cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining electrical stimulation (a gentle muscle zapping) with fun hand exercises using a motion-sensor game can improve hand and wrist movement in children with cerebral palsy. It is designed for children who can move their arms and hands with some difficulty but are not too severely limited.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has spastic cerebral palsy (tight muscles) on one or both sides of their body.
- The wrist or fingers are affected by the condition.
- Ages 6 to 15 years old.
- No Botox injections or arm/hand surgery in the past 6 months.
- Can follow simple verbal instructions.

This study tests if a special electrical stimulation therapy, used during specific tasks, can improve arm and hand control in children with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy. It aims to help kids with moderate to severe motor challenges gain better use of their upper limbs.
This study tests whether combining electrical stimulation with functional training helps improve movement and daily activities in children with cerebral palsy. It may help them move better and do more on their own.
This study tests whether combining a gentle brain stimulation technique with special arm and hand exercises can improve arm function in children with cerebral palsy. It uses a head cap that sends a mild electrical current to help the brain learn better.
This study tests a fun 'exergame' that combines speech exercises with arm movements for children with cerebral palsy. It may help improve coordination and communication.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation on the skin can improve movement and daily function in adults with cerebral palsy who have limited mobility.
This study tests if a small electrical device can help improve walking in children with a certain type of cerebral palsy. The device sends gentle electrical pulses to leg muscles to help them move better, and the study will measure changes in walking.
