New remote program aims to boost participation for teens with cerebral palsy
NCT ID NCT07424079
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests a remote, 12-week program called PREP for teens with cerebral palsy and their caregivers. The program helps families set activity goals and overcome barriers at home, school, and in the community. Researchers will see if the program is practical and liked by families, and if it improves participation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Pathways and Resources for Engagement and Participation (PREP) - a behavioral intervention
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a practical, remote way to help teens with cerebral palsy engage more in activities at home, school, and in the community.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study with only 24 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is behavioral, not a medical treatment, so it won't change the underlying condition.
