What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This trial tests whether a wearable suit called EXOPULSE Mollii, which sends gentle electrical pulses to muscles, can help children with cerebral palsy. The study focuses on kids aged 5 to 12 who have spasticity and some walking ability. Researchers will measure changes in balance, spasticity, and pain to see if the suit offers a non-invasive way to improve daily life.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
EXOPULSE Mollii Suit, a wearable garment with embedded electrodes that delivers low-intensity electrical pulses to muscles
What this could lead to
If effective, this non-invasive suit could offer a new way to improve balance, mobility, and quality of life while reducing spasticity and pain in children with cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage trial, so results may not apply broadly. The suit's benefits are uncertain, and individual responses may vary.
