This project examines the use of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as a therapeutic approach to improve motor function in children with cerebral palsy (CP). By applying 6-Hz primed low and high-frequency rTMS and measuring brain responses through TMS-EEG, the study aims to enhance neural plasticity and motor recovery. The goal is to promote faster rehabilitation and reduce long-term healthcare needs.
Aged 6 - 20 years,
A confirmed diagnosis of CP by a specialized professional (pediatric neurologist, PM&R physician, neonatal developmental specialist, or neonatologist) is a prerequisite for participation,
Classified as high functioning (Level I, II, or III) according to the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS),
Age-appropriate ability to understand and comply with study procedure throughout the entire duration of the study,
Syndromic or genetic brain-related associations,
History of major trauma or brain surgery,
Inability to remain still,
History of Epilepsy,
