NCT ID NCT00726206
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 44 preterm infants born before 28 weeks to see if their brain activity and general movements could predict cerebral palsy. Researchers used EEG and movement recordings to find patterns linked to the condition. The goal was to improve early diagnosis and help doctors intervene sooner.
