Spinal nerve stimulation for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study adds a mild electrical stimulation to the spinal nerves during a planned SDR surgery for children with cerebral palsy, to see if it helps improve movement more than the surgery alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child must be between 3 and 14 years old
- Child has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy
- The medical team has already decided the child needs an SDR procedure
- The child's medical insurance will not be affected by joining the study

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 studies a type of spinal cord stimulation to reduce stiffness (spasticity) in people with cerebral palsy that has not responded to usual treatments. If you qualify, the goal is to improve movement and related symptoms like speech problems.
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.
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation (called tDCS) can help children with cerebral palsy (spastic hemiplegia) improve their balance and reduce falls. The goal is to see if it makes walking safer and easier.
This study tests whether adding electrical stimulation to core strengthening exercises helps improve walking and posture in children with spastic diplegia (a type of cerebral palsy). It is designed for children aged 4 to 6 with mild muscle stiffness who are already walking well.
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.
