tDCS and Bimanual Therapy for Children With Hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy
Sponsor: Burke Medical Research Institute
Summary
The goal of this study is to test the efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation combined with bimanual training on hand function in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (USCP). Children who enroll in the protocol will be randomized to receive either sham (not stimulating) tDCS plus bimanual training, or active (stimulating) tDCS plus bimanual training.
