Spinal stimulation for leg stiffness in cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cerebral palsy (or are very likely to have it) with stiffness in your legs.
- You are between 4 and 65 years old.
- You can walk for at least 10 minutes, with or without help.
- You can follow simple instructions.
- You have not had leg surgery or injury in the past year, or botox injections in the past 3 months.
- You do not have certain medical devices (like a pacemaker or baclofen pump) or other serious health conditions.

This study tests whether a noninvasive electrical stimulation applied to the outside of the body, paired with physical therapy, can improve movement and walking for people with neurologic conditions. You may be asked to complete regular therapy sessions and simple movement tasks while the team measures your progress.
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 whether a gentle electrical stimulation on the skin can improve movement and daily function in adults with cerebral palsy who have limited mobility.
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.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called neuromodulation) can improve walking, balance, and other movements in adults with hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP). It may be a good fit if you can walk with or without help, have stable spasticity medications, and don't have a pacemaker or epilepsy.
