Sound waves aim to calm uncontrollable movements in kids with cerebral palsy
NCT ID NCT06036199
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive sound wave procedure (focused ultrasound) can safely improve movement and quality of life in 10 children and young adults (ages 8-22) with dyskinetic cerebral palsy. The treatment targets a small area in the brain to reduce involuntary movements. Researchers will track side effects and measure changes in movement and caregiver burden over 24 months.
