Spinal stimulation at home could restore arm movement after injury
NCT ID NCT06743607
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether non-invasive spinal stimulation, used at home with exercise, can safely improve arm and hand function in people with recent cervical spinal cord injury. 46 participants will be randomly assigned to start the program immediately or after a 12-week delay. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and tolerable, and whether it leads to better upper extremity function.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- transcutaneous spinal stimulation
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a safe, home-based way to improve arm and hand function after spinal cord injury.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early feasibility study with only 46 participants. The stimulation may not produce meaningful functional gains, and results may not apply to all injury types.
