Robotic glove may boost hand strength in kids with cerebral palsy
NCT ID NCT07248735
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding a robotic glove to standard hand therapy (CIMT) can improve hand dexterity and grip strength in children aged 6-12 with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Half of the 34 participants will receive CIMT alone, while the other half will also use a robotic glove that helps move their fingers. Each session lasts 6 hours, 3-5 days a week, for up to 8 weeks. The goal is to see if the robotic glove leads to better hand function and more independence in daily activities.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) with or without a robotic glove
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a more effective therapy to improve hand function and independence in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 34 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The intensive 6-hour sessions may also be hard for some kids to tolerate.
