Brain scans may forecast language success in children with cochlear implants
NCT ID NCT05962359
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This study investigates whether brain imaging can predict how well children with cochlear implants will develop language skills. Researchers are building models to forecast long-term language outcomes in English- and Spanish-speaking children. They are also testing a parent-led communication training program to see if it can help children predicted to have poorer language outcomes. The goal is to personalize therapy based on each child's predicted needs.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Parent-Implemented Communication Treatment (PICT)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could allow doctors to predict which children will struggle with language after cochlear implants and offer them targeted therapy early.
What could go wrong
The predictive models are still being developed and may not be accurate for all children. The behavioral therapy requires significant parent commitment and may not work for everyone.
