First seen May 09, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS could improve arm and hand movement in people with recent spinal cord injuries. Thirteen participants received either real or fake tDCS alongside physical therapy. The study was stopped early, so results are limited, but the goal was to see if this approach is feasible and helps recovery.
