Brain Stimulation and Therapy for Cerebral Palsy Movement
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 6 and 18 years old
- You have been diagnosed with spastic cerebral palsy by a neurologist
- Your motor impairment is mild to moderate (GMFCS Levels I–III, meaning you can walk with or without help)
- You are medically stable and not having major surgery or recent medication changes
- You do not have uncontrolled seizures or a seizure in the past year
- You do not have metal implants in your head or implanted devices like pacemakers

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 a non-painful brain stimulation treatment plus bimanual (two-hand) arm therapy can improve arm and hand use in children with congenital hemiplegic cerebral palsy. It may help children strengthen and control the affected hand and improve daily movement.
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 study tests whether combining brain stimulation (tDCS—a mild electrical technique) with hand exercises can help children with cerebral palsy improve their weaker arm and hand function. The trial aims to see if this combination works better than training alone.
