Cerebral Palsy clinical trials at UCSF

2 in progress, 1 open to eligible people

Cerebral palsy is a condition that affects movement and muscle coordination. UCSF is testing a new method called Deep Brain Stimulation to help children and young adults with movement disorders. This study focuses on the safety of placing these stimulators in the brain.

  • Cerebellar Deep Brain Stimulation for Movement Disorders in Cerebral Palsy in Children and Young Adults

    open to eligible people ages 7-25

    The purpose of this study is to test the safety of placing Deep Brain Stimulators (DBS) in a part of the brain called the cerebellum and using electrical stimulation of that part of the brain to treat movement symptoms related to cerebral palsy. Ten children and young adults with dyskinetic cerebral palsy will be implanted with a Medtronic Percept Primary Cell Neurostimulator. We will pilot videotaped automated movement recognition techniques and formal gait analysis, as well as collect and characterize each subject's physiological and neuroimaging markers that may predict hyperkinetic pathological states and their response to therapeutic DBS.

  • Neonatal Seizure Registry - Developmental Functional EValuation

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    The NSR-DEV study is a longitudinal cohort study of around 280 Neonatal Seizure Registry participants that aims to evaluate childhood outcomes after acute symptomatic neonatal seizures, as well as examine risk factors for developmental disabilities and whether these are modified by parent well-being.
