- Abstract
The focus of this study is to investigate the safety and tolerability of anodic tDCS in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP). Ten children and adolescents with hemiplegic and diplegic PCs, aged eight to 17 years (mean = 11.40, dp = 2.83) participated in this study. The subjects participated in five sessions of anodic tDCS in the right posterior parietal córtex (PPC), with the cathode positioned in the left deltoid muscle. After each stimulation session, a standardized questionnaire was used to assess adverse effects. Results: the results showed the following adverse effects: pruritus rates (62%), burning sensation (16%) and tingling (23%). Most of the effects were classified as mild intensity by the participants, thus demonstrating the high tolerability and safety of tDCS in children and adolescents with CP.
