Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Combined with Neurofunctional Motor Training in Autistic Children: A Randomized, Sham-Controlled, Double-Blind Clinical Trial
= 0.226). In contrast, the amplitude of the motor evoked potential was significantly increased in the group that received active tDCS over the primary motor cortex compared to active tDCS over the cerebellum and sham stimulation. Ten sessions of anodal tDCS over the primary motor cortex and cerebellum during neurofunctional motor training were not effective at improving gross and fine motor skills in autistic children.
