Summary

This study tests whether a non-invasive device that stimulates the vagus nerve, combined with arm exercises, can safely help improve arm and hand movement in 10 adolescents with spastic cerebral palsy. The main goal is to check for side effects and see if the therapy is practical. If successful, it could lead to larger studies on a new way to ease movement difficulties.
