Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Craniectomy without replacement of bone flap. Patients who underwent craniectomy will need the bone flap reattached prior to participation.
- Presence of cranial metal implants or implant device that could be affected by tDCS: cochlear implant, implanted brain stimulator, or programmable ventriculoperitoneal shunt.
Other illness
- Uncontrolled epilepsy, defined as seizure within the past 6 months.
Who the study is looking for
- Childhood stroke survivor - either arterial ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage.
- Stroke must be childhood onset, defined as occurring day 29 of life to 18 years of age (per the American Heart Association's definition of childhood stroke)
- 3 months or greater from stroke onset
- Arm impairment, defined as pediatric stroke outcome measure of 1 or greater of affected arm.
- Affected arm Fugl-Meyer score of 60 or lower.
- Able to participate in occupational therapy sessions.
Age in the registry: 5 years to 19 years · Sex: All · Does not accept healthy volunteers
