Spinal adjustments may calm nerves in kids with cerebral palsy
NCT ID NCT07504640
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a gentle, quick spinal manipulation can improve heart rate variability in children with cerebral palsy. Twenty children will each receive both the real procedure and a sham (fake) version on separate days. Researchers will measure changes in heart rate patterns to see if the manipulation affects the nervous system.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Spinal manipulation (a procedure involving quick, gentle thrusts to the spine)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a non-drug way to improve autonomic nervous system function in children with cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study (20 children) looking only at immediate changes in heart rate variability, not long-term symptoms or function. The effect may be minimal or no different from sham.
