NCT ID NCT07625878
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will test whether adding music therapy to standard physical therapy helps children with spastic cerebral palsy improve their concentration and walking. Forty children aged 5 to 7 will either receive physical therapy alone or physical therapy combined with rhythmic music and movement. Researchers will measure attention and gait changes to see if the musical approach makes a difference.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Music therapy (listening and moving to music) plus standard physical therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, enjoyable way to help children with cerebral palsy focus better and walk more smoothly during therapy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 children, so results may not apply to everyone. The music therapy is added to standard care, so any improvement may be modest.
