Can botox doses be optimized for kids with cerebral palsy?
NCT ID NCT06150729
First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how Botox (OnabotulinumtoxinA) is used in real-world clinical practice to treat muscle stiffness in children aged 2-17 with cerebral palsy. Researchers will track dosing, injection techniques, and pain management methods over 12 months. The goal is to understand current practices and gather information that could help improve treatment approaches.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- OnabotulinumtoxinA (Botox) injections
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help refine how Botox is used to ease muscle stiffness in children with cerebral palsy, potentially improving treatment guidelines.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it won't prove effectiveness. Results may vary widely due to real-world practice differences and small sample size.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Unilateral/bilateral, upper/lower limb spasticity associated with cerebral palsy. * Naïve to OnabotulinumtoxinA treatment and who, according to medical and to the standard clinical practice criteria, will receive OnabotulinumtoxinA. * Treated only with stable doses of short-acting muscle relaxants can be included in the study, at the investigator's discretion, for at least 30 days prior to treatment starting, under the concept that at the time the steady state of the drug (stable plasma concentrations) will theoretically have been reached. * Under adjuvant treatment with orthoses and other orthopedic devices can be included in the study. * Participants with physio/physical therapy can be included. Exclusion Criteria: * Previously treated with botulinum toxin for spasticity related to cerebral palsy. * Diagnosed with Eaton-Lambert syndrome, myasthenia gravis, or other neurological diseases with compromised neuromuscular transmission. * History of hypersensitivity to the study drug or to any of the excipients in the formulation. * Evidence of inflammation or infection in the anatomical region selected by the investigator for the study drug administration. * Participants under treatment with drugs that interfere with neuromuscular transmission which, at the investigator's discretion, contraindicate OnabotulinumtoxinA concomitant administration. * Have had orthopedic surgery in the segment to be infiltrated in the 12 months prior to drug application.
