NCT ID NCT07603752
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a wireless brain implant that lets people with severe spinal cord injuries control external devices just by thinking. The device is placed in the brain with a small surgery. Researchers will check how well participants can perform tasks using only their brain signals and monitor safety. The trial involves 34 adults with paralysis from the neck down.
What this could mean

Active substance
implantable wireless brain-machine interface system (WRS)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could allow people with paralysis to control external devices like computers or wheelchairs using only their thoughts, improving independence.
