Spinal zaps may help kids with paralysis grip again
NCT ID NCT06489106
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · 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.
