Brain zaps show promise for paralyzed arms – but study cut short

This study looked at whether a non-invasive brain stimulation method called tDCS, when added to standard physical therapy, could improve arm and hand function in people with recent spinal cord injuries. The trial included 13 participants with neck-level injuries who were between 3 and 6 months post-injury. The study was terminated early, so results are limited, but the goal was to see if this approach is feasible and effective for enhancing recovery.
