Brain chip breakthrough: paralysis patients may control devices with thought
NCT ID NCT07521930
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a brain implant that records and stimulates brain areas to help adults with severe paralysis (from spinal cord injury, ALS, or stroke) control assistive devices like computers or wheelchairs. The main goal is to check safety, and researchers will also see if participants can control two or more devices at once. Only 5 people will take part in this early-stage trial.
