SPASTIC CEREBRAL PALSY

This study tests whether a technique called task-specific electrical stimulation can improve upper limb gross motor skills in 30 children aged 2 to 6 with spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy. The treatment applies mild electrical pulses to specific arm muscles during targeted tas…

This study tests a precise radiation treatment aimed at nerves in the back to reduce muscle tightness (spasticity) caused by stroke, spinal cord injury, or cerebral palsy. About 22 people will be randomly assigned to receive either the real treatment or a sham (fake) procedure. R…

This small study is testing whether a 10-week plan with a nutritional supplement called leucine can help children with spastic cerebral palsy build muscle. Only 5 children will take part, and the main goal is to see if they can stick with the supplement routine. Researchers will …

This study looks at how ankle-foot braces (AFOs) change the way leg muscles work in children with cerebral palsy. Researchers will measure muscle activity while kids walk with and without the brace. The goal is to better understand how AFOs help improve walking, which could lead …

This study looks at muscle tissue from children with cerebral palsy (ages 2-9) to understand how their muscles grow and change at a microscopic level. Researchers will take small muscle samples during planned medical procedures and use imaging to connect these findings to muscle …

This study looks at how muscles change over time in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Researchers will use 3D ultrasound to measure muscle size, length, and quality. The goal is to understand when and why these changes happen, which could help improve treatments. About 229 ch…
