First seen Mar 14, 2026 · Last updated May 04, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This early study tests a device that may help people with severe spinal cord injuries regain movement and sensation in their hands and wrists. Up to 7 adults with tetraplegia (paralysis from the neck down) will use the Bidirectional Neural Bypass System, which connects brain signals to a computer to bypass the injury. The goal is to see if the device can restore the ability to move and feel, improving daily tasks like grasping and pouring.
