New training aims to help parents prevent arm stiffness in newborns

NCT ID NCT06623357

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new training method for caregivers of infants with brachial plexus birth injury (a nerve injury that can cause arm weakness). The goal is to see if the training helps caregivers feel more confident and do daily stretching exercises more consistently, which may prevent shoulder stiffness. About 20 caregivers of infants aged 6 months or younger will be enrolled and split into two groups: one gets the new training, the other gets standard instructions. The study does not test a treatment or cure, but aims to improve how caregivers are taught to help their child.
