Spine and brain zaps aim to restore arm movement after injury

NCT ID NCT06867809

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 23 times

Summary

This early study is testing whether a combination of temporary electrical stimulation of the upper spine and magnetic stimulation of the brain can safely improve arm and hand function in people with cervical spinal cord injury. Twenty adults with incomplete injuries (levels C4 to T1) that occurred more than a year ago will take part in a 29-day series of experiments. The main goals are to check safety and tolerability, and to learn how these stimulation methods might work together to restore movement.
