Brain MRI changes in adults with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how the brain changes over time in people with cerebral palsy by reviewing MRI scans done as part of their regular care. It aims to understand brain health in adults with cerebral palsy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 80 years old and have had at least one brain MRI after turning 18.
- You have had two or more brain or spinal cord MRI scans, taken at least 2 years apart.
- You have been diagnosed with cerebral palsy and are part of the CPRN registry.
- You do not have another brain or nerve disease (like multiple sclerosis or a brain tumor) or a history of moderate or severe head trauma.
- You have not had more than one seizure in your lifetime, do not have a known genetic degenerative disorder, and have no metal implants in your head.

This study uses safe MRI scans during natural sleep to look at how babies' brains develop, especially those at risk for cerebral palsy. It aims to find early signs of movement problems so treatment can start sooner.
This study uses surveys and brain imaging (MRI) to look for patterns that match chronic pain in people with cerebral palsy, and compares them with people without cerebral palsy. It may help researchers better understand what brain features relate to chronic pain.
This study looks at early brain scans and other markers to help predict and improve outcomes for newborns with brain injuries that might lead to cerebral palsy. It aims to find better ways to identify these high-risk babies early.
This study looks at whether MRI scans taken when babies are 6 months to 2 years old can help predict if they will develop cerebral palsy. It focuses on infants who had risk factors for brain injury, such as being born very early or with a low birth weight.
This study looks at what causes cerebral palsy in children and what brain scans show. It may help doctors better understand different types of cerebral palsy.
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.
