Can video therapy help kids with cerebral palsy move better?
NCT ID NCT06486987
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests whether constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) can be effectively delivered via video in the homes of 10 children aged 4-10 with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. The therapy involves encouraging use of the weaker arm while restraining the stronger one. Researchers will measure arm function before and after treatment to estimate how well this remote approach works, aiming to inform a larger future study.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Constraint-induced movement therapy delivered by televideo
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a convenient home-based therapy option to improve arm function in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The therapy is delivered remotely, which may affect how well it works compared to in-person sessions.
