Summary
This study tests a simple idea: temporarily numb the strong, non-paralyzed arm muscles with over-the-counter cream while exercising the paralyzed muscles. Researchers hope this helps the brain focus on the weak muscles, improving their strength, function, and sensation. The study involves 30 adults with spinal cord injury and uses electrical stimulation and brain monitoring to measure changes.
