Robotic glove boosts hand therapy for kids with cerebral palsy?
NCT ID NCT07248735
First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 33 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding a robotic glove to standard Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) improves hand dexterity and grip strength in children aged 6-12 with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Thirty-four children will be split into two groups: one receiving CIMT alone, the other CIMT with a robotic glove that helps move fingers. Each session lasts 6 hours, 3-5 days a week, for 4-8 weeks. The goal is to see if the robotic glove makes therapy more effective for daily activities.

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 (CIMT) with or without a robotic glove
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a more effective therapy to improve hand function and independence in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 34 participants, so results may not apply to all children. The intensive therapy schedule (6 hours/day) may be hard to maintain, and the robotic glove's added benefit over standard CIMT is unproven.
