Wearable Sensors to Detect Atypical Muscle Activation in Young Infants

NCT06970522 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to see if wearable sensor technology can be used to evaluate muscle activity and/or identify atypical muscle tone in infants up to 48 weeks postmenstrual age (8 weeks corrected age). These sensors are placed on the surface of the skin and record data about a child's body movements and muscle activity.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06970522

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06970522 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 40 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, which has 274 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 3 conditions, with Neuromuscular Disorders appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 0 interventions. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06970522 reports 2 study locations spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Illinois. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
