Shock wave therapy: finding the right frequency for kids with CP
NCT ID NCT07476690
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how often a non-invasive treatment called radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT) should be given to reduce muscle stiffness in children with cerebral palsy. Forty-five children aged 6 to 14 will receive either real or sham therapy once or twice a week for three weeks, alongside their usual rehabilitation. The goal is to find the best session frequency to improve spasticity, movement, balance, and muscle health.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (rESWT)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward an optimal treatment schedule for reducing muscle stiffness and improving movement in children with cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 45 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The therapy may not work better than sham treatment.
