Brain Stimulation Study for Cerebral Palsy Movement
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 6 and 20 years old
- If you have cerebral palsy, a specialist doctor must have confirmed your diagnosis
- If you have cerebral palsy, your condition is considered high-functioning (you can walk with minimal to moderate support)
- You can see and hear well enough to follow study instructions (with glasses, hearing aids, or other help if needed)
- You can sit still and understand instructions throughout the study visits
- You do not have epilepsy, severe genetic brain conditions, or other serious medical problems that are not related to cerebral palsy

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation with physical therapy can improve movement and muscle control in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Researchers will measure how the brain responds to this combined treatment.
This study tests whether a mild electrical stimulation applied to the skin over the spine can help children with cerebral palsy improve their movement and walking. Researchers will compare children who receive this treatment with children who don't have cerebral palsy to see if it makes a real difference.
This trial tests if combining spinal cord stimulation with a drug called 5-azacitidine can improve movement and muscle control in children with cerebral palsy. It aims to help with daily activities like walking or using hands.
This study tests whether combining a gentle brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) with physical therapy can help improve leg movement and reduce muscle stiffness in children with cerebral palsy. The goal is to see if this combination works better than therapy alone.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to see if it can reduce muscle tightness (spasticity) in the arm of children with cerebral palsy or hemiplegia caused by a brain injury. It is a randomized controlled trial, meaning some children will receive the active treatment and others a placebo, to find out if it really helps.
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (a noninvasive way to stimulate the brain with magnetic pulses) can reduce spasticity—tight, stiff muscles—in children with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy. If you qualify, it may help improve muscle control and movement in the legs.
