Spinal injury patients may regain hand control with brain zaps and exercise

This study tests whether combining a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called paired neurostimulation with hand exercises can help people with cervical spinal cord injury improve hand and arm movement. Seventeen participants with injuries between C4 and C8 will undergo training and be measured for changes in finger speed, dexterity, and brain activity. The goal is to understand how the brain and spinal cord adapt, not to provide a cure or long-term treatment.
