NCT ID NCT07063446
First seen Dec 12, 2025 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study tests whether a gentle nerve stimulation (taVNS) combined with intensive hand therapy can improve arm function in infants aged 8-24 months who have one-sided weakness (hemiplegia) from a brain injury. Ten infants will receive 40 hours of therapy over two weeks. Researchers will also use a single brain stimulation pulse to see which babies are most likely to benefit. The goal is to ease symptoms and boost motor skills, not to cure the underlying brain injury.
