Spinal Cord
September 2022
Article Synopsis
- A multisite, double-blinded clinical trial aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of noninvasive transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) combined with rehabilitation for improving upper extremity recovery in individuals with chronic cervical spinal cord injury (SCI).
- The study involves 44 adults with tetraplegia, who will be randomly assigned to receive either active or sham tDCS alongside rehabilitation, with evaluations occurring at multiple points throughout the trial.
- Primary outcome measures will focus on upper extremity motor impairment and functional abilities, while secondary measures will investigate changes in brain activity and track treatment feasibility and safety.
