Measuring treatment effects in cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how well different treatments work for people with cerebral palsy. It may help doctors understand which treatments are best for improving walking and movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosis of cerebral palsy.
- You can stand and start walking with or without help.
- You can walk for at least 1 minute with or without a walking aid like crutches or a walker.
- You haven't had orthopedic surgery in the last 6 months.
- You don't have metal in your body that would interfere with brain imaging.
- You are not pregnant and not taking steroid medication (including birth control that contains steroids).

This study compares two types of physical therapy to see which one improves movement and function in children with cerebral palsy. It aims to find the best approach to help your child move and do daily activities more easily.
This study tests an activity-based walking program for children with cerebral palsy who do not walk much or at all. The program uses a harness system to support the child while they practice walking. The goal is to see if this therapy helps improve mobility.
This trial tests if a specific type of physical therapy—task-oriented circuit training—helps children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy move better and take part in more activities. It may be a good fit for children with mild motor challenges who haven't had recent treatments or surgeries.
This study tests whether walking on a treadmill with body weight support helps improve motor development in children with dyskinetic cerebral palsy. It's a training program that may help with movement and coordination.
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 a treatment for children with cerebral palsy who have a crouched walking pattern, a forward-tilted pelvis, and weak calf muscles. It uses EMG to check muscle activity and aims to improve walking.
