Key findings

What ClinicalTrials.gov does not surface for Cerebral Palsy on its own pages , computed from the registry mirror as of 2026-08-08. Each line carries its own denominator so it can be quoted as it stands.

  1. Cerebral Palsy is recruiting above its size-band peers.

    45 of 92 indexed trials (48.9%) are open to enrollment, against a 39.7% average across 762 conditions with 20-99 trials. The peer set uses the same ClinicalTrials.gov-derived counts as this page.

  2. Sponsorship of Cerebral Palsy trials is spread across many organizations.

    Father Flanagan's Boys' Home accounts for 4 of 92 trials (4.3%). 58 distinct sponsors appear on at least one study for this condition label.

  3. Most Cerebral Palsy trials plan to enrol fewer than 100 people.

    Median target enrolment is 36 among the 92 trials that report a genuine target (sentinel values excluded). 69 of those (75%) plan for fewer than 100 participants.

  4. Cerebral Palsy research is mostly interventional.

    67 interventional and 25 observational studies make up this index (72.8% interventional). Study type is sponsor-reported on ClinicalTrials.gov.
