Balance and quality-of-life in hemiparetic cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation applied to the lower leg improves balance and quality of life in children with cerebral palsy. It may help with walking and daily activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Children between 6 and 10 years old
- Have cerebral palsy with one-sided weakness (hemiparetic)
- Mild spasticity (tightness) in the lower leg muscles
- Able to walk independently (GMFCS level 1)
- Can follow simple instructions
- No Botox injections in the calf muscles in the last 6 months

This study tests whether combining weight-bearing exercises with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (a mild electrical current that helps muscles move) can improve balance and everyday functional abilities in children aged 6–10 who have hemiplegic cerebral palsy (weakness on one side of the body). It may help improve mobility and independence.
This study tests whether combining balance training exercises with gentle electrical stimulation can help children with one-sided weakness (hemiparesis) improve their balance and movement control. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard therapy alone.
This study tests whether combining electrical stimulation with functional training helps improve movement and daily activities in children with cerebral palsy. It may help them move better and do more on their own.
This trial tests whether combining electrical stimulation with mirror therapy can improve arm movement and quality of life in children with hemiplegia (weakness on one side of the body). It may help your child use their arm better in daily activities.
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.
This study looks at how muscles work and how balance is affected in children with spastic hemiplegia (stiffness on one side of the body). It aims to understand these factors better, which could help guide future treatments for children with this condition.
