Motor development therapy for infants with one-sided arm weakness
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is between 8 and 24 months old
- Your baby has weakness on one side of the body due to a brain injury around birth
- Your baby has not had constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) in the last 3 months
- You can attend therapy sessions over 2 weeks and a follow-up visit 3 months later

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.
This study compares two types of therapy to help children with cerebral palsy use their weaker arm better. One therapy involves gently restraining the strong arm to encourage use of the weaker arm, and the other uses virtual reality games to practice arm movements.
This trial tests an intensive therapy program that trains both hands together to improve hand use in children with cerebral palsy. It may help your child with everyday hand and arm skills, but it also requires meeting certain health, eye, and recent-treatment limits.
This study tests whether a type of physical therapy called kinesiotherapy can improve arm and hand function and daily living skills in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (weakness on one side). It may help children who can follow simple directions and participate in therapy sessions.
This study compares two types of hand and arm therapy for children who have had a stroke. It tests whether adding special movement exercises to a commonly used therapy helps improve arm function better than the therapy alone.
This study compares two types of hand therapy for children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. One therapy uses only constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) to encourage use of the weaker hand, and the other adds a robotic glove to help with hand movements. The goal is to see which one works better for improving hand function.
