Early intervention at home in infants with congenital brain lesion with CareToy revised: a RCT protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Congenital brain lesions expose infants to be at high-risk for being affected by neurodevelopmental disorders such as cerebral palsy (CP). Early interventions programs can significantly impact and improve their neurodevelopment. Recently, in the framework of the European CareToy (CT) Project ( www.caretoy.eu ), a new medical device has been created to deliver an early, intensive, customized, intervention program, carried out at home by parents but remotely managed by expert and trained clinicians. Reviewing results of previous studies on preterm infants without congenital brain lesion, the CT platform has been revised and a new system created (CT-R). This study describes the protocol of a randomised controlled trial (RCT) aimed to evaluate, in a sample of infants at high
