About this trial

Spastic Hemiparetic Cerebral Palsy (SHCP) uses to limit the manual function. Using anodic transcranial direct current stimulation, it is possible to activate certain cerebral areas depending on where the electrodes are. This study will use this kind of stimulation on the contralateral primary motor cortex of the affected upper limb and analyze the effects.
