Botox shots help kids with cerebral palsy move better?
NCT ID NCT06583343
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether Botox injections, combined with physical therapy, can improve selective motor control (the ability to move one joint at a time) in children with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy. Forty children aged 4-12 received Botox in their spastic muscles plus 30 sessions of physical therapy. Researchers measured changes in leg and arm movement control and pain levels. The goal is to see if this combination can help children move more smoothly and with less discomfort.

Botulinum toxin A (Botox)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a way to improve movement control and reduce pain in children with cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed Phase 4 trial with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to all children. Botox injections carry risks like muscle weakness or allergic reactions.
