Tiny trial tests virtual CBT for chronic pain in cerebral palsy

NCT ID NCT06269926

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether online group cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a practical way to help adults with cerebral palsy who have chronic pain. Fourteen participants will attend weekly virtual therapy sessions for 12 weeks. The main goal is to see if people will stick with the program and complete surveys, not yet to measure pain relief.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) delivered via online group sessions

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a practical, non-drug way to help adults with cerebral palsy cope with chronic pain.

What could go wrong

This is a very small feasibility study with only 14 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It focuses on whether the therapy can be delivered, not on how well it works for pain.
