NCT ID NCT07606222
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compared two therapies—myofeedback and neuromuscular electrical stimulation—to see which better improves arm and hand function in children aged 6 to 14 who have one-sided weakness (hemiplegia) after brain tumor surgery. Forty-five children participated, and researchers measured muscle activity, arm function, and a brain-related protein in the blood. The goal was to find a more effective rehabilitation approach.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
myofeedback and neuromuscular electrical stimulation
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward better rehabilitation methods to improve arm and hand function in children with hemiplegia after brain tumor surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 45 children, so results may not apply to everyone. It tests short-term improvements, not a cure or long-term recovery.
