Abstract

Objective: Compare the effectiveness of active and sham transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) during the training of a dual task in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP).

Methods: Thirty children with CP were submitted to ten sessions of either active (n = 15) or sham (n = 15) tDCS over the motor cortex for 20 minutes during the training of a dual task. Pre-intervention, post-intervention and follow-up evaluations involved measures of functional performance, intellectual performance, functional mobility and cortical excitability.

Results: The combination of active tDCS and dual task training led to improvements in functional mobility as well as functional and intellectual performances one month after the end of the intervention.

Conclusion: The combination of active tDCS and dual task training demonstrated promising effects for children with spastic CP.

双任务训练和经颅直流电刺激对痉挛性脑瘫儿童的影响:一项随机对照试验。

目的:比较经颅直流电刺激(tDCS)在痉挛型脑瘫(CP)患儿双重任务训练中的效果。方法:在双重任务训练期间，30名CP儿童在运动皮层上进行10次活动(n = 15)或假(n = 15) tDCS，持续20分钟。干预前、干预后和随访评估包括功能表现、智力表现、功能活动能力和皮质兴奋性的测量。结果:主动tDCS与双任务训练相结合可在干预结束一个月后改善功能活动能力以及功能和智力表现。结论:主动tDCS联合双任务训练对儿童痉挛性脑瘫有较好的治疗效果。

期刊介绍： Developmental Neurorehabilitation aims to enhance recovery, rehabilitation and education of people with brain injury, neurological disorders, and other developmental, physical and intellectual disabilities. Although there is an emphasis on childhood, developmental disability can be considered from a lifespan perspective. This perspective acknowledges that development occurs throughout a person’s life and thus a range of impairments or diseases can cause a disability that can affect development at any stage of life.
