CEREBRAL PALSY

This study tests whether stem cells from donated umbilical cords can improve movement and thinking skills in children with cerebral palsy. About 78 children aged 6 months to 3 years will receive either stem cells plus a special liquid, stem cells alone, or standard therapy. The g…

This study gave eight infusions of the patient's own stem cells to one person with cerebral palsy who had no other options. The goal was to improve his quality of life. The treatment is not a cure, and the patient may need ongoing care.

This study follows 25 people aged 2 to 65 with chronic brain damage from lack of oxygen (HIE) who receive an experimental gene therapy through the nose. The therapy delivers 15 genes meant to repair brain cells, reduce inflammation, and improve movement and thinking. Researchers …

This study compares robotic exoskeleton gait training to traditional physical therapy in 64 adolescents and young adults with cerebral palsy. Participants undergo brain scans, mobility tests, and nerve tests before and after training to see if the robot suit improves walking spee…

This study compares two ways of delivering 'Therapy Together,' an intensive upper limb program for children with cerebral palsy aged 3 months to 4 years 11 months. The program involves both the child and their caregiver. Researchers want to see which method is more feasible and e…

This study tests whether adding robot-assisted walking training to regular physiotherapy can improve body composition (like muscle and fat) and daily function in children with neurodevelopmental disorders, including cerebral palsy. Nine children will each try both the robot thera…

This study looks at whether using a passive kinesiotherapy device on the legs for 30 minutes can reduce muscle stiffness (spasticity) and improve walking in people with conditions like cerebral palsy, stroke-related weakness, or spinal cord issues. About 80 participants will have…

This study looks at whether a special walking training program can help teens and young adults with cerebral palsy move better. About 120 participants will have brain scans, mobility tests, and nerve tests before and after the training. The goal is to see if the therapy improves …

This study tests a high-intensity physical therapy program for children with cerebral palsy (ages 7-17) who can walk. The program focuses on building leg strength, power, and walking ability through group sessions. Researchers will measure improvements in strength, walking speed,…

This study tests whether cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be delivered in virtual group sessions to help adults with cerebral palsy cope with chronic pain. Researchers will enroll 14 participants to see if the approach is practical and well-received. The goal is to reduce p…

This study tests whether a fun, play-based training program using special three-wheeled running bikes can help children aged 2-5 with cerebral palsy move better and be more active. Over 12 weeks, kids attend weekly group sessions and do home exercises. The goal is to improve gros…

This study tests whether an 8-week power wheelchair training program helps children with severe cerebral palsy improve their driving skills and independence. Sixteen children who cannot walk or use a manual wheelchair will be randomly assigned to training or usual care. Researche…

This study tests a robot called the CPWalker to see if it can help children and teens with cerebral palsy improve their walking. About 30 participants aged 11 to 21 will use the robot in training sessions. Researchers will measure walking speed and endurance to see if the robot h…

This study tests whether a very mild, painless electrical stimulation to the legs can help children and young adults with cerebral palsy keep their balance during everyday movements like standing up, walking, and turning. Participants aged 10 to 21 will perform these tasks with a…

This study compares two physical therapy approaches for children aged 8-24 months with or at high risk for cerebral palsy. One method focuses on sitting, reaching, and problem-solving, while the other targets general motor skills. The goal is to see which therapy improves sitting…

This study watches people with brain or nerve conditions like traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, stroke, or autism who choose to get intranasal stem cell or exosome therapy as part of their regular care. Researchers track safety …

This study aimed to use high-frequency brain signals to better understand how the brain works in people with epilepsy, migraines, and other conditions. Researchers planned to create a database of these signals to improve diagnosis and treatment. However, the study was withdrawn b…

This study looks at why constipation is common in children with cerebral palsy and what factors might be involved, such as diet, physical activity, and caregiver stress. About 100 children aged 4 to 18 and their caregivers will answer questionnaires and keep diaries. No treatment…

This study looks at whether a powered wheelchair that lets children stand up can help them take part more in everyday activities. It includes children aged 5-17 with conditions like cerebral palsy or spinal cord injuries who cannot walk. The goal is to see if this approach is pra…

This study tests a program called Skills on Wheels that teaches children who use manual wheelchairs how to move around more safely and on their own. The goal is to help kids become more independent, confident, and involved in activities. The study includes children ages 5 to 17 w…

This study checks whether a test that uses play to measure arm and hand movement in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy is reliable when done through telehealth. About 35 children aged 2–10 will each attend one in-person visit and one video visit, playing with toys while bein…
