Sleeping baby MRI could unlock early cerebral palsy diagnosis
NCT ID NCT06396520
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study uses MRI scans of babies during natural sleep to understand how the brain develops in both healthy infants and those at risk for cerebral palsy. Researchers will follow about 200 infants from 3 months to 2 years old, using advanced imaging and motor skill tests. The goal is to find early brain signs that predict cerebral palsy, allowing for earlier treatment when it can have the most impact.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to earlier and more accurate diagnosis of cerebral palsy in infants, enabling timely interventions when the brain is most adaptable.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly change clinical practice, and the advanced MRI techniques might not prove more effective than current methods.
