Spinal implant offers hope to help Ventilator-Dependent patients breathe
NCT ID NCT04883463
Summary
This early-stage study is testing the safety and feasibility of a spinal cord stimulator implant for people with severe neck injuries who depend on a ventilator to breathe. The device is placed in the neck and sends electrical signals intended to help reactivate the breathing muscles. Researchers will carefully monitor 12 participants for up to 21 months to see if the implant is safe and if it can improve their ability to breathe on their own.
