First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding a non-invasive spinal cord stimulation technique (TSCS) to standard rehabilitation can improve arm and hand function in people with a recent spinal cord injury. About 18 adults with cervical-level injuries will receive either real or sham stimulation during rehab. The goal is to see if this low-cost approach can enhance recovery and reduce muscle stiffness.
