Zapping the brain to help move paralyzed arms

NCT ID NCT03892746

Summary

This study tested whether combining gentle brain stimulation with arm exercises could help people with neck spinal cord injuries regain arm and hand function. Forty-seven participants who had been injured for at least a year received 15 sessions of this combined therapy over several weeks. Researchers measured changes in strength, ability to do daily tasks, and how the nervous system responded to see if the approach was safe and helpful.
