Remotely monitored transcranial direct current stimulation in pediatric cerebral palsy: open label trial protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pediatric applications of non-invasive brain stimulation using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) have demonstrated its safety with few adverse events reported. Remotely monitored tDCS, as an adjuvant intervention to rehabilitation, may improve quality of life for children with cerebral palsy (CP) through motor function improvements, reduced treatment costs, and increased access to tDCS therapies. Our group previously evaluated the feasibility of a remotely monitored mock tDCS setup in which families and children successfully demonstrated the ability to follow tDCS instructional guidance.

Methods and design

Here, we designed a protocol to investigate the feasibility, safety, and tolerability of at-home active transcranial direct current stimulation in
