Electrical Stimulation

for Spinal Cord Injury

This trial uses electrical stimulation techniques to help patients with partial spinal cord injuries improve their arm and hand movements. The treatment works by enhancing the timing and coordination of nerve signals, making it easier for the brain and spinal cord to control muscles. Electrical stimulation of the spinal cord has been practiced as a therapy by the medical community for a long time.
