Effect of non-invasive brain stimulation in children with acquired brain injury-a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Children and young people (CYP) with acquired brain injury (ABI) require early and effective neurorehabilitation to improve long-term functional outcomes. Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS), including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), have been used to improve motor and sensory skills for children with cerebral palsy. However, there is limited evidence supporting its use in CYP with ABI.

Objective

To systematically review the TMS and tDCS intervention effects on motor, sensory and other functional issues in CYP with ABI as reported in the literature.

Methods

A comprehensive online bibliographic databases search was performed in various databases using keywords related to NIBS and CYP with ABI. Stu
