MyCP Community Registry Studies
By participating in the MyCP registry, community members may help researchers understand their experience of living with CP by completing research surveys. MyCP surveys are designed with the help of our community advisors working alongside CP researchers.
The following series of questions will ask about things such as how long you went to school, how you move around and communicate and the status of your health. We will also ask about the way you feel, if you have pain, and if you had surgery as a child. We are particularly interested in your viewpoint on whether you think people have treated you differently as a result of having cerebral palsy.
The following series of questions will ask you about your pain, where it is, how bad it is, what makes it feel better and how it has impacted your life. We will also ask you about what treatments you have done, what worked, and if you use opioids.
The following series of questions will be asking you about how you move your arms and legs, if you use equipment to move, and if you are satisfied with your movement.
Medical History Background -- this form collects basic data that is useful for finding people eligible for future studies and characterizing the community members that participate in the registry.
