Telemedicine for early constraint therapy in young children with CP
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial studies a home-based (telemedicine) version of a therapy called constraint therapy for very young babies at risk for or diagnosed with cerebral palsy (CP). The goal is to improve how well the affected arm/hand works by encouraging use of the more affected side.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 4 and 13 months old (using corrected age if born early)
- Your child has CP or is considered very high risk to develop CP (more than 95% risk)
- Your child has early signs that one arm/hand is working differently (tested by HINE and/or other imaging)
- Your child shows a clear difference between hands/arm movement on infant hand testing (HAI and/or Bayley hand scores)
- A parent or legal guardian can sign consent and complete the study steps
- Your child has NOT received botulinum toxin in the affected arm within the last 3 months

This trial tests an at-home intervention (called HABIT-ILE) for children with bilateral cerebral palsy, delivered over two weeks. It aims to see whether home-based therapy and assessments help children function better and whether families can follow the program.
This study tests a therapy program called HABIT-ILE, which parents deliver at home for young children with cerebral palsy in Vietnam. The goal is to help improve their movement and daily skills.
This trial tests a therapy called CHRIST for children ages 6-12 who have spastic cerebral palsy affecting one side. The goal is to improve hand use and arm function.
This study tests whether a therapy called HABIT-ILE (hand-arm bimanual intensive training) combined with a home program improves how well children with cerebral palsy use both hands together. It is for young children aged 3 to 5 years who have weakness on one side.
This trial tests an intensive therapy program that trains both hands together to improve hand use in children with cerebral palsy. It may help your child with everyday hand and arm skills, but it also requires meeting certain health, eye, and recent-treatment limits.
This study compares two types of hand therapy you can do at home through video calls. It tests if one helps children with cerebral palsy use their affected hand better.
