Shocking the spine: new device aims to move paralyzed limbs
NCT ID NCT04755699
First seen Mar 16, 2026 · Last updated May 03, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This early study tests whether a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord and muscles can improve arm, hand, or leg movement in people with paralysis from spinal cord injury, stroke, or other nerve damage. Up to 64 participants will attend up to 5 sessions per week for a year, each lasting up to 4 hours, to see if the stimulation helps them move better. The goal is to find out if the device is safe and can change muscle activity, not to cure the underlying condition.
