Cold therapy for muscle stiffness in cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a cold treatment called cryoneurolysis to reduce painful muscle tightness in the shoulder or elbow for people with cerebral palsy. It is for those who have tried other treatments like injections or medications and found they didn't work well or weren't an option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are over 12 years old
- You have disabling or painful muscle tightness in the shoulder or elbow
- Other treatments (like botox injections or oral medications) did not help or could not be used
