NEUROMODULATION

This trial tests whether a short, temporary nerve stimulation can reduce pain in people with moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis. About 100 adults aged 30 to 70 who have not found relief from oral pain medications or physical therapy will receive a brief electrical pulse to sp…

This study tests whether combining a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) with machine-assisted hand exercises can help stroke survivors regain arm and hand movement. Researchers will enroll 54 adults aged 40-80 who had a first stroke within the past year. Participants…

This study tests whether low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) can temporarily reduce essential tremor by targeting specific brain areas. Sixty people scheduled for a standard ultrasound procedure will receive up to 25 short ultrasound pulses while researchers measure tremor ch…

This study looks at how healthy adults use words and body movements to interact. Researchers will record brain activity and body motions during conversations and tasks. The goal is to uncover the brain mechanisms behind social communication. 200 healthy volunteers aged 18-55 will…

This study compares two types of spinal stimulation—transcutaneous (through the skin) and epidural (implanted via surgery)—to see how they help people with spinal cord injury generate leg force and stand with support. Sixty adults aged 22-75 who cannot stand independently will pa…
