Compression sleeve shows promise for kids with cerebral palsy
NCT ID NCT02086214
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether wearing a special pressure sleeve for 6 months could improve hand function in children with cerebral palsy. 101 children aged 5 to 10 took part. The sleeve, made of a stretchy material, was designed to provide gentle pressure to the arm. The main goal was to see if it helped children use their affected hand better in daily activities.
