NCT ID NCT05885139
First seen Aug 05, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a wearable suit called EXOPULSE Mollii, which sends gentle electrical pulses to muscles, can help children with cerebral palsy. The study focuses on kids aged 5 to 12 who have spasticity and some walking ability. Researchers will measure changes in balance, spasticity, and pain to see if the suit offers a non-invasive way to improve daily life.
