Spinal implant offers new hope for Ventilator-Dependent patients
NCT ID NCT04883463
Summary
This is an early safety study testing whether a small electrical stimulator implanted in the neck can help people with severe cervical spinal cord injury breathe better. The study will enroll up to 12 adults who are dependent on a ventilator to breathe, at least one year after their injury. Researchers will first test a temporary stimulator, and if safe and promising, some participants may receive a permanent implant to use alongside their ventilator during a year of rehabilitation.
