Robotic Rehabilitation and Brain Stimulation for Children With Hemiparetic Cerebral Palsy

NCT04233710 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 20

Summary

This study evaluates the use of robotic rehabilitation with and without transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to improve motor performance in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy. Half of the participants will receive robotic rehabilitation and half will receive robotic rehabilitation with tDCS. We hypothesize that tDCS may augment the robotic therapy and show greater improvements than robotic therapy alone.

Conditions

  • Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy
  • Perinatal Stroke
