Could AR and zaps restore hand movement after spinal cord injury?
NCT ID NCT07299734
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This small early-stage study tests whether a device that combines augmented reality (AR) with functional electrical stimulation (FES) is safe and usable for people with cervical spinal cord injury. Seven participants will attend 20 one-hour sessions over 10 weeks, using the system to practice grasping objects. The main goal is to check for serious side effects and see if people can set up and use the system on their own. If successful, this approach might help improve hand function and independence.
