Study Summary

This trial is testing whether a noninvasive spinal cord stimulation device can help improve function in people with cerebral palsy.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people over the age of 2 with cerebral palsy. It's not suitable for those on antispastic meds, who've had certain surgeries like selective dorsal root rhizotomy or tendon lengthening, recent Botox injections in muscles, or unhealed fractures/contractures.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests SCiP (Spinal Cord neuromodulation) to see if it can help improve movement and function in individuals with cerebral palsy without needing surgery or drugs.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this involves noninvasive spinal stimulation, potential side effects might include discomfort at the site of stimulation, mild skin irritation from electrode placement, and muscle fatigue after treatment.
