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 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 a short-term treatment that uses mild electrical stimulation on the back to help reduce leg stiffness and improve walking in people with cerebral palsy. It may help you move more easily.
This study tests a combination of brain stimulation and movement training to see if it can improve muscle control and brain activity in children with spastic cerebral palsy. It may help children move better and improve their quality of life.
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 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.
