Spinal zap trial aims to reconnect paralyzed arms

NCT ID NCT06225245

Summary

This study is testing whether a surgically implanted device that delivers mild electrical stimulation to the neck spinal cord can help people with spinal cord injuries regain control of their arms and hands. Twelve participants will have the device implanted and undergo intensive upper-body training to see if the combination improves movement and independence. The goal is to see if this approach can 'wake up' damaged nerve circuits and restore function.
