Primebrain Stimulation

NCT02159534 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 70

Summary

Background : Brain vulnerability is particularly marked in preterm neonates and has long-term consequences. Unlike lesions affecting other organs, those that affect the brain can currently not 'be repaired' by producing new cells. However, exeprience-driven brain plasticity allows the brain to reorganise its connections to compensate (at least partially) the effects of an injury.

Purpose : To evaluate the influence of Primebrain stimulation programme administred by parents until 6 months post-term on motor and neurophysiological development of infants born \<32 weeks' gestation or with birth weight \<1500 g.
