Caregiver training for babies with brachial plexus birth injury
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a training program for parents of infants with brachial plexus birth injury (a nerve injury around the shoulder that can limit arm movement). The program aims to help caregivers learn exercises to improve their baby's arm function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study examines pain, arm function, and social appearance anxiety in adults who had shoulder tendon transfer surgery as children for brachial plexus birth palsy. It helps understand long-term outcomes after this specific surgery.
This trial tests if playing virtual reality games while doing dual tasks can help the brain rewire and improve arm function in children with a brachial plexus injury. It could offer a fun and engaging new approach to rehabilitation.
This study tests a Turkish version of a questionnaire about how brachial plexus birth palsy (a nerve injury at birth affecting arm movement) impacts daily life. It may help people understand and communicate their symptoms better.
This study tests whether sensory integration therapy helps young children with a brachial plexus injury (nerve damage in the arm from birth) improve their development. It may be a good option for children who have not had other therapies recently and do not have other major health issues.
This study tests whether graded motor imagery training — a type of mental practice involving imagining movements — can help children aged 7–18 with a brachial plexus injury that happened at birth. It could offer a new way to improve movement without needing hands-on therapy.
This study is testing a new MRI technique to better see nerve damage in people with a birth-related arm injury. It could help doctors understand these injuries more clearly and guide treatment.
