U.S., April 21 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07539025) titled 'Cervical Spinal Cord Associative Plasticity' on April 13.
Brief Summary: Associative plasticity has been used to promote functional recovery from conditions affecting movement. Prior work from the Carmel laboratory has shown that paired associative stimulation protocols timed to converge in the cervical spinal cord induce significantly larger upper limb motor responses than if timed to converge in the motor cortex.
The goal of this prospective experimental study in typically developing adults is to test the effects of pairing sub-threshold hand motor cortical and median nerve stimulation targeted to induce plasticity in the cervic...
