Key Points

This research evaluates how effective specific protocols of non-invasive brain stimulation and peripheral electrical stimulation are for improving walking speed in individuals with cerebral palsy.
Network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Comparison of protocol-specific efficacy of non-invasive and peripheral electrical stimulation
Focus on walking speed as the primary outcome measure
Non-invasive brain stimulation showed a statistically significant improvement in walking speed compared to peripheral electrical stimulation (effect size not stated)
Protocol-specific analyses revealed varying levels of efficacy between the stimulation techniques
Overall, both stimulation methods demonstrated potential benefits for enhancing walking speed in cerebral palsy.
