Can brain and spinal stimulation restore hand movement?

NCT ID NCT05163639

First seen May 17, 2026 · Last updated May 17, 2026

Summary

This study tests a technique called spinal cord associative plasticity (SCAP), which uses mild electrical stimulation to the brain and spinal cord to strengthen signals to the arm and hand muscles. Researchers aim to understand how this works in people with and without spinal cord injury, including those undergoing spinal surgery. The goal is to learn how to improve movement, not to cure the injury.
