NCT ID NCT05163639
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-phase study tests whether pairing brain stimulation with spinal cord stimulation can strengthen the signals that control hand muscles. Researchers will study healthy volunteers, people with spinal cord injury, and those with cervical myelopathy. The goal is to understand how this technique works and whether it could one day help restore movement.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
non-invasive brain and spinal cord stimulation
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a non-invasive way to improve arm and hand function after spinal cord injury.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small study focused on understanding how the stimulation works, not yet testing a treatment. It may not lead to any direct benefit for participants.
