NCT ID NCT07573891
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether combining functional electrical stimulation (gentle electrical pulses to help muscles move) with circuit training can improve balance, posture, and walking in children with cerebral palsy. Forty-six children with mild to moderate CP will be split into two groups: one gets the combo therapy, the other gets standard exercises. Both groups train three times a week for eight weeks. The goal is to see if the added stimulation leads to better stability and quality of life.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, non-drug way to improve balance and movement in children with cerebral palsy.
