NCT ID NCT05013736

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 33 times

Summary

This study follows 65 infants who had a stroke around birth, tracking their brain development and motor skills over two years. Researchers use MRI scans, brain stimulation, and movement tests to find markers of recovery. The goal is to understand how the brain heals, which could guide future treatments.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could identify early signs of brain recovery in infants with perinatal stroke, pointing toward future therapies to improve motor function.

What could go wrong

This is an early observational study with only 65 infants, so it will not directly test any treatment. The findings may not lead to immediate clinical changes.
