Effects Obtained at Manual Function After Applying Anodic Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tCDS) in Children With Spastic Hemiparetic Cerebral Palsy
Sponsor: University of Malaga
Summary
Spastic Hemiparetic Cerebral Palsy (SHCP) uses to limit the manual function. Using anodic transcranial direct current stimulation, it is possible to activate certain cerebral areas depending on where the electrodes are. This study will use this kind of stimulation on the contralateral primary motor cortex of the affected upper limb and analyze the effects.

Anodic Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
This study will apply the anodic transcranial direct current stimulation over 20 children between 14-18 years old. The protocol that it will follow is the next one: 3 days to value the outcome measures, 4 days (1 sessions per day of 17 minutes and 30 seconds) to apply the protocol of anodic transcranial direct current stimulation (0,6 mA of intensity). It will use the EPTE V07 Bipolar System by IONCLINICS ®; 3 days to value the outcome measures studying the effects produced at the affected upper limb. Another evaluation will be realized 3 weeks after the last sessions of anodic transcranial direct current stimulation to know if the effects obtained last at medium-long term.
