Spinal zaps + hand exercises: new hope for kids with One-Sided weakness

NCT ID NCT07247812

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a non-invasive technique called transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS), combined with specific arm and hand exercises, can improve upper limb function in children and young people (ages 12-21) with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. The treatment involves placing electrodes on the back to deliver mild electrical pulses while the participant does targeted movements. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and helps with hand strength, coordination, and daily activities.
