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 This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether adding robot-assisted walking training to standard physical therapy helps children with cerebral palsy move better and breathe easier. Twenty-four children aged 8-18 will receive either standard therapy alone or standard therapy plus robotic walking sessions for 12 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in motor skills, muscle stiffness, and lung function.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
robot-assisted walking training
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a way to improve walking and breathing in children with cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 24 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is added to standard care, so any benefit may be modest.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

24 people

The number who actually took part.

Started

Dec 2024

Expected to finish

May 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

8 to 18 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Children aged 8-18 years with a diagnosis of spastic type cerebral palsy (SP) * Classified as Level I-III according to the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) * Height ≥100 cm to ensure compatibility with robotic device braces * Adequate cognitive and behavioral cooperation to participate in exercise sessions Exclusion Criteria: * Musculoskeletal surgery within the past 12 months * Botulinum Toxin A injection within the past 6 months * History of uncontrolled or irregular epilepsy/seizures * Cardiovascular disease contraindicating exercise participation
