Summary

This study looks at whether a safe, non-invasive ear stimulator (taVNS) can be used together with arm and hand exercises to help people with incomplete cervical spinal cord injury. The main goal is to see if the approach is safe and practical, with only 12 adults taking part. If successful, it could lead to larger studies on improving arm function.
