Summary

This study is testing whether a video-based, parent-led developmental training program is feasible for preterm infants with brain injury. Twelve families will use a video platform (Zoom) for twice-weekly sessions at home, guided remotely by a therapist. The goal is to see if parents can follow the program and if it is safe and practical, not yet to measure long-term benefits.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: parent-centered developmental training via video conferencing
What this could lead to: If successful, this could provide a practical, home-based early intervention model for preterm infants with brain injury, potentially improving developmental outcomes.
What could go wrong: This is a very small (12 participants), early feasibility study. It is designed to test if the approach works, not to prove it improves health. Results may not apply to all preterm infants.
