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 therapy to help babies aged 8 to 24 months who have weakness on one side of their body (hemiplegia) improve their arm and hand skills. The therapy focuses on encouraging the brain to adapt and learn new ways to move.
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 combines magnetic brain stimulation with physical therapy to help improve movement, balance, and quality of life in people who have had a stroke and have weakness on one side for at least 6 months. It may help you regain more function in your affected arm or leg.
This study tests whether using a brain-mapping tool to guide magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) can improve arm movement after a stroke. It aims to help people with lasting weakness in one arm during the early recovery phase.
This study tests a combination of brain stimulation and movement training to see if it can improve muscle control and brain activity in children with spastic cerebral palsy. It may help children move better and improve their quality of life.
This trial tests a combination of mild electrical brain stimulation and a special hand therapy program to help improve arm and hand movement after a stroke. It is for adults who had a stroke more than three months ago and still have moderate to mild arm weakness.
