Summary
This study looked at whether three approved drugs (cyproheptadine, carbidopa-levodopa, and atomoxetine) could help improve hand movement when taken along with hand training exercises in people with chronic spinal cord injury. 25 adults with long-term spinal cord injury participated. The goal was to see if these drugs could strengthen the connection between the brain and spinal cord, leading to better hand dexterity and strength.
