importance of family and study team support for successful trial completion. Conclusions/Significance: Preliminary long-term safety evidence of rTMS/CIMT in pediatric stroke was investigated. No report of symptom was attributed to original intervention. Behavioral outcomes, as a function of safety, exhibited heterogeneity in gains across ages. Future studies should include long-term follow-up to more fully understand the impact of our intervention.
