Feasibility of remote transcranial direct current stimulation for pediatric cerebral palsy during the COVID-19 pandemic

Brain injury and stroke early in life occur during a time of heightened neuroplastic potential1. Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) technology including transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) are a promising way to enhance standard therapies and pediatric rehabilitation interventions by harnessing neuroplasticity2. Our experience in pioneering applications of NIBS during pediatric development has demonstrated its safety and efficacy when combined with rehabilitation strategies e.g. constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT)3,4.
