Spinal Cord Ser Cases
April 2022
Article Synopsis
- A prospective interventional case series was conducted to assess the effects of long-term paired associative stimulation (PAS) on cortical sensorimotor oscillations in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI).
- Five patients with chronic incomplete SCI underwent PAS treatment to their upper limb over 16-22 days, with their brain activity monitored before and after the intervention.
- The results indicated that PAS improved the modulation of sensorimotor oscillations during active hand movements in four patients, while responses to tactile stimuli remained unchanged, suggesting PAS has a significant effect on motor functions and brain activity in SCI patients.
