Crawling therapy for very premature infants
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if early crawling practice on a special skate can help very premature babies at risk for developmental problems. It aims to improve their movement and brain development.

This trial compares different therapy approaches for premature babies. It aims to help with their development using the ICF biopsychosocial model, which looks at health from many angles.
This trial studies the best ways to diagnose cerebral palsy early in babies born very preterm (before 29 weeks). It will help doctors find signs of brain injury sooner so that babies can get the right support early on.
This trial aims to find and support babies who are at risk of cerebral palsy (CP) as early as possible. It checks specific early signs and brain or health risk factors, then helps determine whether early intervention might improve outcomes.
This trial tests an early intervention program called SAFE for babies aged 3–12 months who had complications at birth or were born prematurely. The goal is to help their brain and movement development through specialized therapy.
This study looks at how the brain and body work together to control movement in infants who are at high risk for developmental issues. It may help find early signs of motor problems.
This trial tests an early virtual (video/online) intervention to support infants with cerebral palsy symptoms after a specific type of birth brain injury. It may help babies and families by starting therapy-like support early from home and tracking progress over time.
