Could a nerve zap boost hand function in babies with brain injury?

NCT ID NCT07063446

First seen Dec 12, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study tests whether a gentle nerve stimulation (taVNS) combined with intensive hand therapy can improve arm and hand function in infants (8-24 months old) who have one-sided weakness due to a brain injury. Researchers will also use a single pulse of brain stimulation to see which infants might benefit most. The goal is to help babies use their weaker hand better, not to cure the underlying brain injury.
