NCT ID NCT06489106

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This small study tests a noninvasive method called transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (scTS) to help children aged 7-12 with chronic cervical spinal cord injury regain hand function. Researchers will find the best placement and strength of stimulation on the neck and lower back, and compare stimulation combined with arm training versus training alone. The goal is to improve grip strength and control, not to cure the injury.
