Spinal cord stimulation study hopes to unlock better hand control
NCT ID NCT07539025
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new way to stimulate the brain and a nerve in the arm at the same time to encourage the spinal cord to adapt and improve hand movement. It involves 20 healthy adults who will receive non-invasive stimulation while researchers measure muscle responses. The goal is to confirm that targeting the spinal cord works better than targeting the brain alone, which could later help people with spinal cord injuries or cerebral palsy.
