Spinal zaps help scientists map nerve damage in kids with spina bifida
NCT ID NCT06918119
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses mild electrical stimulation on the skin of the lower back to measure how well nerves and muscles work in 30 children and teens with spina bifida. Researchers will test muscle strength, spasticity, walking speed, and coordination. The goal is to better understand sensorimotor deficits, not to treat the condition.
