Zap to the spine helps paralyzed hands move again
NCT ID NCT03184792
Summary
This study tested whether a painless, non-invasive electrical stimulation device applied to the neck could help improve hand and arm function in people with cervical spinal cord injury. Fifteen participants received either the stimulation plus physical therapy or therapy alone in a random order. Researchers measured changes in strength, sensation, and the ability to perform daily tasks over six months to see if the stimulation provided lasting benefits.
