Caregiver bootcamp for infants with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study offers a 6-week training program that teaches caregivers how to support their baby's movement and development through physical and occupational therapy techniques. It aims to empower parents to help their infant, who is diagnosed with or at high risk for cerebral palsy, improve motor skills.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is 3 to 15 months old (adjusted for prematurity)
- Your baby has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy or is at high risk for it
- Your baby is not independently walking yet
- Your baby is medically stable enough for handling and group activities
- You (the main caregiver, 18+) can attend all weekly group sessions and speak English

This study tests a motor (movement) training program for very young infants at higher risk for cerebral palsy or who show early signs of it. The goal is to see whether training improves early movement and development during the first months of life.
This trial aims to find and support babies who are at risk of cerebral palsy (CP) as early as possible. It checks specific early signs and brain or health risk factors, then helps determine whether early intervention might improve outcomes.
This study tests a program that helps infants stand and walk at home. It may help babies with cerebral palsy—or those at high risk—by improving movement and function in a safe, supported way.
This study tests an activity-based walking program for children with cerebral palsy who do not walk much or at all. The program uses a harness system to support the child while they practice walking. The goal is to see if this therapy helps improve mobility.
This study follows infants who already have cerebral palsy or who seem at high risk to develop it. It looks at early brain and movement signs over time, which may help doctors recognize CP sooner and plan support.
This trial tests a program that helps parents and healthcare professionals work together from the start to support babies with certain brain injuries that can lead to cerebral palsy. It may help improve your baby's development through early, coordinated care.
