Hemiparetic Cerebral Palsy Clinical Trial
Official title:
Evaluation of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation as an Adjunct to Modified Constraint Induced Movement Therapy in Improving Upper Limb Function in Children With Hemiparetic Cerebral Palsy Aged 5 - 18 Years - A Randomized Controlled Trial
The investigators aim to evaluate efficacy of TMS as an adjunct to CIMT, assess its safety and tolerability and study cortical excitability with help of TMS which are both rehabilitative therapies for hemiplegic cerebral palsy.
Cerebral palsy is the most common motor disability of childhood and Hemiparetic cerebral palsy accounts for about one third of cases. Improving spasticity and upper limb function in these children can lead to better functional outcome and quality of life. TMS is an upcoming rehabilitative modality which has shown promising results in western studies. It has benefits of being non-invasive and has shown to have additive effect when used with CIMT which is standard of care in hemiparetic CP. However, randomized controlled clinical trials comparing it with CIMT alone in hemiparetic CP are very few, none from India so far. The dose, type and duration of TMS and its feasibility in resource limited set up needs to be investigated in children .Therefore, the investigators aim to evaluate efficacy of TMS as an adjunct to CIMT, assess its safety and tolerability and study cortical excitability with help of TMS. ;
