Constraint therapy for brachial plexus birth injury
This trial tests whether wearing a soft cast on the unaffected arm for a few weeks helps babies with a brachial plexus birth injury use their affected arm more. It may improve arm function during a key period of development.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is between 6 and 12 months old.
- Your baby has a brachial plexus injury affecting only the upper part of the arm, with good hand function.
- Your baby has not had any prior surgery on the affected arm.
- Your baby does not have any other neurological or muscle disorders or significant developmental delays.
- You are willing to have your baby randomly assigned to either the treatment or the control group.
