About this trial
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.
