Spinal zap plus robot arm training shows promise for hand movement

NCT ID NCT07432321

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This small pilot study tests whether adding a gentle electrical stimulation to the spinal cord (tSCS) can make robotic arm training more effective for people with chronic tetraplegia from a spinal cord injury. Six to eight adults with neck-level injuries will first receive robotic training alone, then robotic training plus stimulation. Researchers will measure changes in arm strength, sensation, and quality of life. The goal is to see if the combination leads to better hand and arm function.
