Robotic Exoskeleton Gait Training in Adolescents With Cerebral Palsy
NCT05158218 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The study design will consist of a cohort of adolescents and young adults with cerebral palsy (CP) that will undergo a gait training protocol. All participants will complete MEG baseline brain imaging measures of their sensorimotor cortical activity, MRI brain/spinal cord imaging (previous MRI or template brain may be substituted), neurophysiological tests of the spinal cord H-reflex, and a series of mobility clinical tests. After completing the baseline tests, the participants with CP will undergo the therapeutic gait training using either traditional physical therapy or utilizing a robotic exoskeleton. After completing all of the therapeutic gait training sessions, the participants will repeat the same assessments that were completed at baseline. The two groups will be compared based on the assessments for therapeutic outcomes.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05158218
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05158218 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 64 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Father Flanagan's Boys' Home, which has 36 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Cerebral Palsy appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Robotic Exoskeleton Gait Therapy is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT05158218 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Nebraska. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
