First seen Dec 16, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study looks at how electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can help people with cervical spinal cord injury move their arms and hands better. Researchers will test different stimulation targets in 36 adults who are already scheduled for neck surgery. The goal is to find the best way to activate arm muscles effectively and selectively, which could guide future treatments for paralysis.
