Transcranial direct current stimulation and constraint-induced therapy in cerebral palsy: A randomized, blinded, sham-controlled clinical trial
European Journal of Paediatric Neurology Feb 16, 2018
Gillick B, et al. - An assessment was performed of the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) combined with constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) in children and young adults with unilateral cerebral palsy. Greater improvement was achieved in the hand function of children with preserved corticospinal tract (CST) circuitry from the lesioned hemisphere compared to those without. Hence, the safety and feasibility of serial sessions of tDCS were brought to light. It was also revealed that CST circuitry exerted an impact on the outcomes following tDCS/CIMT.
