Table 1 Study aims and hypotheses

From: Remotely monitored transcranial direct current stimulation in pediatric cerebral palsy: open label trial protocol

Aim

Hypothesis

1. Determine the feasibility of remotely supervised teleneuromodulation with active tDCS

1. Caregivers and children will correctly and reliably setup a stimulation montage with children following remote instruction over one practice session and one sham session

2. Participants will be able to initiate and successfully complete active tDCS over repeated sessions, with increasing quality of stimulation (impedance)

2. Determine the safety and tolerability of 20 minutes of at-home active tDCS with remote monitoring

1. Children will tolerate the stimulation with no serious adverse events

2. The repeated and guided sessions will result in increased comfort and confidence reported by the caregivers and children in performing tDCS at home
