Virtual reality therapy for cerebral palsy motor skills
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special immersive virtual reality therapy can help children with cerebral palsy improve their motor skills. It also looks at how the brain responds during the therapy. The study is a pilot, meaning it's a small first step to see if the treatment is promising.
