Clinical Trial: Using Non-invasive Brain and Spinal Cord Stimulation to Improve Arm and Hand Function After Spinal Cord Injury

U.S., Feb. 21 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07423949) titled 'Using Non-invasive Brain and Spinal Cord Stimulation to Improve Arm and Hand Function After Spinal Cord Injury' on Jan. 29.

Brief Summary: Cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts communication between the brain and spinal circuits, affecting voluntary movement control and contributing to arm and hand impairments, the top recovery priority for people with tetraplegia. Although rehabilitation and emerging neuromodulation approaches can support meaningful gains, many individuals experience persistent limitations in reaching and grasping. Current noninvasive stimulation strategies typically target the brain OR the spinal cord alone, ...
