  • Cerebral Palsy Patient Registry

    Principal Investigator:

    Jason Brant Carmel, MD, PHD
    The Weinberg Family Cerebral Palsy Center's (WFCPC) research team maintains a cerebral palsy (CP) patient registry of more than 1,000 enrolled patients. This registry contains information collected from children and adults with CP. The goal of the registry is to help us learn more about CP and neuromuscular diseases, to understand the quality of life of patients with these diseases, and to study different treatment and surgical options. The registry allows our researchers to capture a more complete picture than ever of the full scope of patients living with CP and to investigate long-term...

  • Investigating Brain Changes in People with Cerebral Palsy

    Principal Investigator:

    A key part of the CP definition is that is a non-progressive brain injury. However, as people with CP age, their function often deteriorates. This study seeks to determine whether changes in the brain structure may result in function changes, as they do in other types of brain injuries.
