ViBandz study for children with movement problems
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a wearable device called ViBandz that gives gentle vibrations to help children with neurologic conditions move better. It is for children who are already scheduled to receive this type of vibration therapy as part of their regular care at Children's Mercy Hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
