Brain implant trial aims to give quadriplegics back their hands
NCT ID NCT03680872
Summary
This early-stage study is testing an experimental device called a 'Neural Bypass System' to help restore hand and wrist movement and sensation in people with paralysis from a cervical spinal cord injury. Up to seven participants will have tiny electrode arrays surgically implanted in their brain. Over several years of training sessions, the system will attempt to translate their thoughts into hand movements and provide artificial touch sensations. The goal is to improve participants' ability to grasp and feel objects.
