Cerebral palsy spastic hemiplegic

This study tests whether combining a gentle nerve stimulation device worn on the ear (taVNS) with intensive arm therapy (CIMT) can help infants and toddlers (8–24 months) with perinatal brain injury improve movement in their weaker arm and hand. The therapy involves placing a mit…

This study tests whether a home-use device called the Motus Nova Foot can improve walking and balance in people aged 12-20 with hemiplegia, a condition where one side of the body is weak. The device moves the ankle and foot while guiding users through video activities, and it tra…

This trial tests whether strength training combined with blood flow restriction can increase deltoid muscle thickness and improve upper limb function in children aged 4 to 6 with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Participants will do a specially designed physical therapy program plus lo…

This trial tests whether mirror therapy or action observation therapy can improve hand grip and dexterity in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Children aged 5-10 will be randomly assigned to one of the two therapies, added to their usual physical therapy, for 12 weeks. The…

This study tests whether playing specially designed video games that require both hands and attention can improve hand function, focus, and daily living skills in children aged 7 to 12 with hemiplegia (weakness on one side of the body). Children play Xbox 360 Kinect games that en…

This trial tests whether a biofeedback system using wearable sensors can improve walking in children aged 7 to 12 with hemiplegia (weakness on one side). Participants wear sensors that provide real-time audio and visual cues while walking on a treadmill, helping them correct abno…

This study tests whether a special type of electrical stimulation, called reciprocal neuromuscular electrical stimulation, can improve balance and quality of life in children aged 6 to 10 with hemiparetic cerebral palsy. The 32 participants will receive either the electrical stim…

Researchers compare two exercise-based therapies for children with spastic cerebral palsy: virtual reality therapy and plyometric exercise training. The trial enrolls 44 children aged 12 to 18 who can stand alone and have mild to moderate mobility limits. Children in the virtual …

Researchers compare two rehabilitation methods for children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy, a condition that causes muscle tightness and limited arm movement on one side. The trial enrolls 40 children aged 8 to 12 who receive either electromyography biofeedback training, which us…

This trial tests whether mirror therapy — a low-cost technique where a child watches the reflection of their good arm moving, creating the illusion that their affected arm is moving — can improve arm and hand function in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy. Twenty-six childr…

This trial tests whether adding sensory integration therapy—play-based activities like swinging and weight-bearing exercises—to standard physical therapy can improve walking symmetry, balance, and daily movement skills in children aged 5 to 12 with spastic hemiplegic cerebral pal…

This study looks at whether plyometric (jumping) exercises on the less affected leg can improve strength, movement control, and balance in children aged 6-10 with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Forty children will either get standard physical therapy alone or standard therapy plus pl…

This pilot study tests whether combining AI-assisted brain stimulation (tDCS) with hand-arm training can improve movement in children aged 6-17 with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy. Fifteen participants will receive either real or sham stimulation over 5 sessions. The goal is t…

This study compares a robotic glove to standard hand therapy for children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy, a condition where one side of the body is weaker. Seventy children aged 7-15 will receive either robotic or conventional therapy for 8 weeks. Researchers will measure hand fu…

This study tests whether an 8-day camp that combines sensory and motor training helps children with unilateral cerebral palsy use their affected hand better than motor training alone. About 26 children aged 5 to 15 will take part. The goal is to improve hand function and daily pa…

This study tests whether a gamified mobile app called HEMImprove 1.0 can help adolescents with unilateral cerebral palsy improve their arm function. Thirty-six teens will be randomly assigned to use the app at home or do conventional exercises from a manual, both for 30 minutes a…

This study tests whether adding a robotic glove to standard physical therapy can improve hand function in children aged 5-12 with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy. Forty children will be randomly assigned to receive either conventional therapy alone or conventional therapy plus …

This study tests two types of spiral arm straps (TheraTogs and TogRite) to see if they help children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy use their affected arm and hand more effectively. Twenty-seven children aged 4 to 15 will be split into three groups: one gets rehab plus Th…

This study compares carbon fiber ankle braces to standard plastic ones in 38 children with cerebral palsy aged 8-15. Each child will try both braces for 4 weeks to see which one improves walking, running, and jumping. The goal is to find out which brace helps kids be more active …

This study will test whether robotic-assisted therapy can improve hand function, grip strength, and wrist position sense in 32 children aged 6-9 with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Participants will use a robotic device to perform repetitive, goal-oriented hand exercises. The goal is…

This study will test whether special 'brain gym' exercises can improve thinking abilities and quality of life in 60 children aged 6 to 8 with spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy. The children will do these exercises along with standard physical therapy for 30 minutes, three times a…

This study looks at brain activity in children aged 5-15 with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP) compared to typically developing children. Using a special EEG cap, researchers measure brain waves while children watch and then perform simple actions like reaching for objects. The goa…
