Non-invasive neuromodulation trials in children: Lessons from perinatal stroke

Introduction: Therapeutic applications of non-invasive brain stimulation are rapidly expanding. Principles are increasingly established, including directional modulation of informed cortical targets, facilitating clinical trial design. The worry is that the high prevalence of burdensome diseases with limited treatment options coupled with unchecked enthusiasm may be allowing trial applications to get ahead of rationale evidence. Concern is even greater in the developing brain where experience is limited and additional issues merit consideration.
