Ear zaps tested to help regain hand movement after spinal injury

NCT ID NCT06543277

Summary

This study is testing if a gentle, non-invasive stimulation of a nerve in the ear (taVNS) is safe and practical when used alongside standard hand and arm therapy for people with chronic spinal cord injury. The main goal is to see if the combination is well-tolerated and if participants can stick with the treatment plan. Researchers will also check for any changes in hand strength, function, and quality of life.
