NCT ID NCT03482310
First seen Feb 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 18, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study tested whether a person with chronic paralysis from a spinal cord injury could control their own hand using brain signals. One participant used a brain implant to send commands to small electrodes in their arm and hand, which then stimulated muscles to create different grasp patterns. The goal was to restore useful hand function, not to cure the injury.
