U.S., Nov. 14 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07934914) titled 'Endovascular Brain-Computer Interface for Upper-Limb Paralysis' on Nov. 03.
Brief Summary: This study tests the safety and feasibility of a new type of brain-computer interface (BCI) in people with severe paralysis caused by stroke, spinal cord injury, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). A BCI records signals directly from the brain and uses them to control external devices. In this study, a small stent-shaped sensor (a metal mesh tube carrying tiny electrodes) is placed inside a vein on the surface of the brain through a needle puncture in a large vein below the collarbone, so no open-brain surgery is needed. Once in place, the...
