NCT ID NCT06128746

First seen Apr 25, 2026 · Last updated May 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS combined with intensive arm training to reduce muscle stiffness (spasticity) in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Twenty children aged 7 to 18 will receive either real or sham rTMS for 10 days, followed by exercises for their weaker arm. Researchers will measure changes in muscle tone and hand function using clinical scales and MRI scans.
