Medicine
He WangJin-Rui Liu

Abstract

Previous clinical studies have reported that electrical stimulation (ES) can be utilized to treat children with limbs spasticity (LS) after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Currently, no systematic review has addressed the effect of ES in children with LS following TBI. Thus, this systematic review will assess the effect and safety of ES for the children with LS after TBI. We will conduct the present systematic review of randomized controlled trials that will be retrieved from searches of PubMed, PsycINFO, WOS, Scopus, OpenGrey, Google Scholar, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database from the inception to the date of the literature searched. In addition, the clinical register websites, and reference lists of relevant studies will also be searched. Two independent reviewers will evaluate the eligibility criteria for all papers, extract the data and determine the methodology quality by using Cochrane risk of bias tool. The results of this systematic review will pool the latest available data, and are expected to provide the summary of present evidence of ES for children with...Continue Reading
