Soft Tissue Release to Improve Arm Rotation in Cerebral Palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a surgical procedure to help children with cerebral palsy who have difficulty rotating their forearm (turning their palm up and down). The surgery aims to improve arm function and reduce stiffness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is between 6 and 16 years old

- Has an elbow pronation deformity—difficulty rotating the forearm—that needs surgery
- Parent or guardian provides written consent for the study
- No previous surgeries on the arms or hands
- No progressive neurological diseases (conditions that get steadily worse over time)

This trial tests whether playful hand and nerve exercises can improve grip strength and hand use in children with cerebral palsy. It may help children who have trouble with fine motor tasks.
This study tests a special hand and arm therapy for children with spastic cerebral palsy. The therapy also includes leg exercises to improve movement. It may help your child use their hands and arms better.
This trial tests an intensive therapy program that trains both hands together to improve hand use in children with cerebral palsy. It may help your child with everyday hand and arm skills, but it also requires meeting certain health, eye, and recent-treatment limits.
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.
