Muscle training for children with cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a new way of strengthening muscles in children with cerebral palsy by targeting specific muscles during exercise. It aims to improve movement and function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a diagnosis of spastic cerebral palsy (muscle stiffness)
- You must be between 5 and 12 years old
- Your child must be able to walk (with or without aids) - GMFCS levels I to III
- It must be at least 3 months since any Botox injections
- It must be at least 12 months since any leg surgery

This study tests a special, intensive hand and arm strength training program for children with cerebral palsy. It aims to see if this training improves how they use their upper limbs in daily activities.
This study tests whether a Botox (botulinum toxin) injection can improve arm and leg movement in children with cerebral palsy. It is for kids ages 8–17 who have stiffness mainly on one side and can walk well.
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 looks at how the muscles in the body grow in infants and young children with spastic cerebral palsy (a type of movement difference). It may help doctors better understand normal growth patterns and how care choices affect muscle development.
This study looks at how botulinum toxin injections affect the muscles of children with spastic cerebral palsy, comparing them to typically developing children to understand the balance between treatment benefits and potential muscle damage.
This study uses a special 3D microscope to look at muscle structure in children with cerebral palsy. It aims to understand muscle stiffness by comparing tiny muscle samples taken during a scheduled procedure that already requires general anesthesia.
