Brain stimulation with movement therapy for babies with one-sided weakness
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests if combining a gentle magnetic head device (sTMS), constraint therapy (CIMT), and a mild nerve stimulator (taVNS) can help babies with one-sided weakness move better. Families join for 2 weeks of treatment and a 3-month follow-up.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is 8 to 24 months old.
- Your baby has weakness on one side of the body (hemiplegia) and may have some trouble with moving or rolling.
- You can bring your baby to all study visits over 2 weeks and a check-up 3 months later.
- You're willing to fill out questionnaires about your baby's development and share feedback.
- Your baby has not had constraint therapy (CIMT) in the past 3 months.
- Your baby does not have severe motor problems affecting all four limbs, uncontrolled seizures, or uncorrected blindness/deafness.

This study tests a new therapy approach to help babies with weakness on one side of their body improve movement and brain development. It may help your baby learn to use their affected arm and hand better.
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation therapy to help people who have had a stroke on one side of the brain regain movement in their affected arm. It combines gentle electrical stimulation on the scalp with hand movements, aiming to improve arm function for those with mild to moderate weakness.
This study tests whether combining a gentle brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) with physical therapy can help improve leg movement and reduce muscle stiffness in children with cerebral palsy. The goal is to see if this combination works better than therapy alone.
This study tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive brain stimulation technique—can improve movement and function in children and teens with cerebral palsy. Researchers will also measure brain activity changes using EEG to understand how the treatment works.
This trial tests whether using a brain-mapping computer (neuronavigation) makes repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) more effective for stroke survivors with arm weakness. rTMS uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate parts of the brain to help recovery.
This trial tests a non-painful brain stimulation therapy to improve arm movement after a stroke. It may help people recover motor function when starting within a few months and meeting safety and participation requirements.
