Brain and movement therapy for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a combination of brain stimulation and movement training to see if it can improve muscle control and brain activity in children with spastic cerebral palsy. It may help children move better and improve their quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 and 18 years old.
- Your child must have a diagnosis of spastic cerebral palsy confirmed by a neurologist.
- Your child's motor impairment should be mild to moderate (GMFCS levels I-III).
- Your child must be able to follow simple instructions and be medically stable.
- Your child must not have had a seizure in the past year, have metal implants in the head, or use certain medications that affect brain activity.
- You (parent/guardian) must provide written consent, and your child must agree to participate.

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 study uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to try to improve motor function in children and young adults with cerebral palsy. It also uses EEG to measure brain activity to understand how the brain changes.
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 a therapy that combines thinking, sensing, and movement exercises for children with cerebral palsy. It aims to improve motor skills and daily function.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it can improve hand function in teenagers with spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsy. If your child qualifies, they may receive this gentle electrical stimulation during therapy sessions, which could help them use their hands better.
This study tests a treatment that uses a gentle electrical current on the scalp (called transcranial direct current stimulation) along with virtual reality exercises to help improve walking and self-esteem in children with spastic cerebral palsy.
