NCT ID NCT06989905

First seen Apr 03, 2026 · Last updated May 17, 2026 · Updated 7 times

Summary

This early study is testing whether a 10-week brain training program can improve arm and hand movement in people with chronic cervical spinal cord injury. Participants receive non-invasive brain stimulation and real-time feedback on their wrist muscle responses. The goal is to understand how the brain-to-muscle connection changes and whether this leads to better motor function. Only 11 adults with weak wrist extension are being enrolled.
