Summary

The aim of the work is to study the role of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy in a Sample of Egyptian Children.

Conditions

  • Cerebral Palsy

Interventions

DEVICE

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

TMS device will deliver repetitive trains of magnetic pulses using Magstim Rapid 2 with angulated figure of eight shaped coil. The device comprised two-channel Neuro-EMG-MS digital system for determining the motor threshold of the patients that will be used for establishing the threshold intensity for stimulation. The figure of eight-shaped coil generated a magnetic field of up to 4 Tesla that penetrates the cranium, enters into the soft tissue of the brain and henceforth stimulates the motor neurons.
