Summary
This small pilot study tested whether spinal cord stimulation could reduce painful muscle rigidity and spasms in people with stiff person syndrome, a rare autoimmune disorder. Two participants received temporary stimulation for up to 10 days, and researchers measured changes in pain, spasm frequency, sleep, and mood. The goal was to gather early evidence on whether this approach might help control symptoms.
