This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a safe, painless technique that uses magnetic pulses to activate language areas of the brain—works better when combined with personalized speech training to help young children with global developmental delay learn to communicate. Children will receive either the brain stimulation plus speech training, or speech training alone, and researchers will compare how well each approach helps improve language skills over one month.
Many young children with global developmental delay struggle with speech and language, which can affect their ability to learn and connect with others. This trial is exploring whether pairing a new, non-invasive brain stimulation technique with traditional speech therapy could offer a more effective way to help these children catch up developmentally.

If your child is accepted into the study, they will be randomly assigned to receive either personalized speech training combined with brain stimulation, or speech training alone. The brain stimulation sessions are non-invasive and painless—magnetic pulses are applied to the scalp for about 20 minutes before each speech therapy session. The study lasts one month total: two weeks of active treatment followed by two weeks of follow-up to see how well the approach works and whether the benefits last.
