Arm squeeze therapy tested to reboot hand control
NCT ID NCT03851302
Summary
This small study tested if a simple technique called remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) could help improve hand function. RIC involves briefly restricting blood flow to an arm with a blood pressure cuff, which may trigger the body's natural healing and learning responses. Researchers tested this technique combined with hand exercises in people with spinal cord injuries, ALS, and healthy volunteers to see if it made hand muscles more responsive.
