Spinal Cord Learning in Cerebral Palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This research study explores how the spinal cord can learn and adapt in people with cerebral palsy. Researchers will work with participants to see if targeted training can improve movement and hand function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Diagnosed with cerebral palsy (MACS level I–III, meaning you have some hand function)
- Able to understand and sign a consent form yourself
- No seizures in the past 2 years
- Not taking medications that increase seizure risk
- No implanted devices like pacemakers or stimulators
- Willing to keep your caffeine intake and exercise routine the same during the study

This study explores how your spinal cord can learn and change through repeated movements. Researchers will ask you to participate in up to 4 sessions to understand how the nervous system adapts, which may help improve treatments for spinal cord injuries in the future.
This early study tests a noninvasive way of training the nervous system to see how it affects “associative plasticity,” or the brain/spinal cord’s ability to change with practice. It may help researchers learn strategies that could improve function for people with spinal cord injury.
This study tests whether using a combination of spinal and brain stimulation can help improve arm and hand movement in people who have had a cervical spinal cord injury (neck area) at least one year ago. It is for those with some remaining movement but not full strength.
This trial tests a new treatment for spastic cerebral palsy that uses gentle electrical stimulation on the spinal cord to help reduce muscle stiffness and improve movement, especially on one side of the body. The goal is to see if this can help people who have speech difficulties and whose condition is stable.
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 tests whether combining a gentle brain stimulation technique with special arm and hand exercises can improve arm function in children with cerebral palsy. It uses a head cap that sends a mild electrical current to help the brain learn better.
