First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a program called Therapy Together, where caregivers lead hand therapy exercises for young children with cerebral palsy who have limited use of one hand. The program lasts 8 weeks and aims to improve hand function and daily skills. Researchers will compare these children to those receiving usual care to see if the program works and if it can be used in standard early intervention services.

Therapy Together (caregiver-led pediatric constraint-induced movement therapy program)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide an effective, home-based therapy option to improve hand function in young children with cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The therapy requires consistent caregiver involvement, which may be challenging.
