Summary
This study aimed to understand how the brain controls hand grasping after a cervical spinal cord injury. Researchers planned to test if non-invasive brain stimulation and sudden loud sounds could improve grip strength and dexterity when combined with motor training. The study included both healthy volunteers and people with chronic spinal cord injury, but it was terminated early.
