Clinical Trial: Functional Electrical Stimulation vs Transcutaneous Stimulation in Patients With Subacute Spinal Cord Injury

U.S., Nov. 4 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07911657) titled 'Functional Electrical Stimulation vs Transcutaneous Stimulation in Patients With Subacute Spinal Cord Injury' on Oct. 27.

Brief Summary: Cervical spinal cord injuries (SCI) are the most common form of spinal cord injuries within the veteran population. Losing arm function is a major concern with these injuries. Doctors often use a treatment called functional electrical stimulation (FES) during rehab sessions targeted at improving arm and hand function.
