4 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the tolerability of tDCS in childhood stroke survivors and to assess for improvement in arm function in patients receiving tDCS and occupational therapy
This is a pilot study of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to test tolerance and efficacy in children who have hemiparesis from acquired or presumed perinatal stroke.
A randomized control trial of bimanual training in children with hemiplegia. The protocols have been developed at Columbia University to be child friendly and draws upon our experience since 1997 with constraint-induced movement therapy in children with cerebral palsy. The investigators will test the hypothesis that bimanual training (HABIT) will result in improved hand function in children with hemiplegia.
Thrombolysis in Pediatric Stroke (TIPS) is a five-year multi-center international safety and dose-finding study of intravenous (IV) tPA in children with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) to determine the maximal safe dose of intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator (IV-tPA) among three doses (0.75. 0.9, 1.0 mg/kg) for children age 2-17 years within 4.5 hours from onset of acute AIS.
