Enhancement of Hand Motor Function After Cervical Spinal Cord Injury
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating rTMS, Sham rTMS, and 2 other interventions for Spinal Cord Injury. Completed, enrolled 42 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
The goals of this study are to examine the physiology of Central Nervous System pathways contributing to the control of upper and lower extremity movements after SCI, and to promote the recovery of extremity movements by using non-invasive brain stimulation and motor training.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
small magnetic pulses will be given to the brain in a non invasive manner.
sham or fake stimulation (TMS or rTMS) will be given to the brain in a non invasive manner
at the direction of the researcher the participant will be instructed to do repetitive motor movements with their arm, hand or leg. this is called training
participants will be asked to perform specific motor tasks or movements with their fingers, hands, arms or legs.
