Spinal injury breakthrough: brain zaps may restore grip
NCT ID NCT07433959
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation method, combined with hand exercises, can improve grasping ability in people with chronic spinal cord injury. About 54 adults with neck-level injuries will receive either real or sham stimulation during training sessions. The goal is to strengthen the brain's signals to hand muscles, potentially making daily tasks easier.
