NCT ID NCT06867809

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 11, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This is a small, early-stage study to see if a combination of electrical stimulation is safe and might help improve arm and hand function for people with neck-level spinal cord injuries. Researchers will temporarily place small wires near the spinal cord in the neck and use a magnetic device to stimulate the brain over 29 days of tests. The main goal is to check safety and understand how these stimulations affect the nerves that control arm movement.
