U.S., May 15 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07586644) titled 'Combined rTMS and tSCS for Upper Limb Recovery in Cervical SCI' on May 08.
Brief Summary: This clinical trial investigates whether combining cortical and spinal neuromodulation can improve upper limb motor recovery in adults with chronic incomplete cervical spinal cord injury (SCI). Restoring upper limb function is the top rehabilitation priority for individuals with tetraplegia, yet effective interventions remain limited.
The study combines transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS), which enhances spinal circuit excitability, with intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS), a form of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulatio...
