VR and AR Music Therapy for Cerebral Palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares two types of immersive music therapy—one using virtual reality (VR) and one using augmented reality (AR)—to help people with cerebral palsy improve movement, coordination, and wellbeing through music and hand-tracking interactions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if playing virtual reality games can help improve balance and movement in children and young adults with cerebral palsy who use a walker or wheelchair. The trial lasts 6 weeks and involves fun VR activities designed to build strength and coordination.
This trial tests whether virtual reality exercises can improve balance in people with cerebral palsy. It is designed for young adults who can walk independently and have spasticity on one side of the body.
This trial tests if using an augmented reality game on a tablet can help children with cerebral palsy walk and move more each day. It could be an option if your child can walk on their own and doesn't have upcoming leg surgery.
This study tests whether playing special augmented reality games (where virtual objects appear in the real world) can improve arm and hand function in children with spastic cerebral palsy. It compares game training to usual therapy.
This study tests whether a special immersive virtual reality therapy can help children with cerebral palsy improve their motor skills. It also looks at how the brain responds during the therapy. The study is a pilot, meaning it's a small first step to see if the treatment is promising.
This study tests whether combining virtual reality games with music therapy can help improve thinking and movement skills in people who had a stroke within the last 6 months. It may be a good option if you are between 50 and 75 and can sit up and use your hearing and vision.
