Sensory camp for hand function in children with unilateral cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether an intensive summer camp focused on somatosensory (touch and body awareness) training can improve hand function and daily participation for children who have weakness or tightness on one side of the body due to cerebral palsy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with spastic cerebral palsy (tight muscles on one side)
- You are between 5 and 15 years old
- You can follow simple instructions and do the activities
- Your manual ability is at MACS level I, II, or III (you can handle objects but may need some help with fine motor tasks)
- You have not had botulinum toxin injections in the last 6 months or surgery on your bones or nervous system in the last year
- You do not have uncontrolled seizures or vision/cognitive problems that would prevent you from taking part

This study tests a therapy that combines thinking, sensing, and movement exercises for children with cerebral palsy. It aims to improve motor skills and daily function.
This summer camp program tests a new way of helping children with cerebral palsy learn new movement and activity skills. Your child would join other kids in fun, play-based activities designed to improve daily function.
This trial tests a therapy called CHRIST for children ages 6-12 who have spastic cerebral palsy affecting one side. The goal is to improve hand use and arm function.
This study tests whether a therapy called HABIT-ILE (hand-arm bimanual intensive training) combined with a home program improves how well children with cerebral palsy use both hands together. It is for young children aged 3 to 5 years who have weakness on one side.
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.
