Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Gamified Rehabilitation for Upper Limb Function in Pediatric Brain Damage

Plain-language summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to acknowledge the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation as an adjuvant with gaming rehabilitation for upper limb function rehabilitation in paediatric population with non-progressive brain damage. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does tDCS boost upper limb function rehabilitation results adding as an adjuvant in paediatric brain damage? * What domains related with upper limb function are most influenced by tDCS stimulation? * What clinical variables are the best to predict the efficacy of the combined treatment? * If the selected intervention causes changes in cognitive domains, and, if it occurs, see their relationship with the proposed intervention and the motor outcomes. As a general objective, this trial seeks the validation of a protocol of non-invasive brain stimulation with tDCS as a complementary therapy for peadiatric population with brain injuries. Participants will be randomly allocated into two groups: experimental group will receive anodal tDCS plus upper limb rehabilitation gaming system rehabilitation and control group will receive sham tDCS plus rehabilitation gaming system for upper limb rehabilitation. Both groups will conducted a virtual reality program with upper limb exercises while been stimulated either with anodal tDCS or sham tDCS. Researchers will compare experimental and control groups to see if there is a difference in upper limb function and cognitive functions.
