CAN-PRIME: Precise Robotically Implanted Brain-Computer Interface for the Control of External Devices
The CAN-PRIME Study is to test the safety and functionality of Neuralink's N1 Implant and R1 Robot in people who have difficulty moving their arms and legs (tetraparesis or tetraplegia). The N1 Implant is a small, wireless device placed in the skull. It connects to tiny threads inserted into the …
Hand and Arm Motor Recovery Via Non-invasive Electrical Spinal Cord Stimulation After Stroke
The recovery from a stroke is often incomplete. It is the leading cause of acquired permanent disability in the adult population. Persistent functional loss of the hand and arm contributes significantly to disability. However, the current standard of care to treat hand and arm movements are inadequate. There is an …
Ultrasound for Quantifying Muscle Activation Elicited by Spinal Cord Stimulation and Functional Electrical Stimulation
Transcutaneous (non-invasive) spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) has been shown to facilitate volitional motor activity in patients with spinal cord injury. tSCS is known to activate the same neural structures as invasive SCS, meaning it may have the potential for functional restoration without an expensive surgical implant. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) …
Spinal Cord Stimulation Combined With Physical Therapy in Post-Stroke Upper-Limb Motor Hemiparesis
This study plans to use systems that have been developed by Medtronic to investigate the use of cervical spinal cord stimulation to treat adults with upper limb hemiparesis resulting from a stroke. The spinal cord stimulation (SCS) will be combined with physical training to improve arm and hand motor control. …
Non-invasive Electrical Spinal Cord Stimulation To Restore Upper Extremity Function in Multiple Sclerosis
Current disease-modifying therapies for multiple sclerosis (MS) aim to prevent the development of new lesions; unfortunately, no current FDA-approved therapies promote central nervous system (CNS) repair mechanisms. Thus, strategies to promote functional recovery from lesion-related deficits in adults with MS remain an unmet need. This is a pilot study designed …
Non-Invasive Neuromodulation for Upper Extremity Function in Spinal Cord Injury: A Crossover Trial
This study explores two promising therapies for restoring arm and hand function in people with chronic cervical spinal cord injury (SCI), a condition that affects independence and quality of life. It will compare transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation and paired corticospinal-motoneuronal stimulation, both combined with rehabilitation. Using a crossover design, participants …
Effect of Neuro20 Functional Electrical Stimulation Suit on Autonomic Function, Muscle Performance, and Gait
This research aims to understand the effect of the Neuro20 Functional Electrical Stimulation Suit on autonomic nervous system function, muscle performance, and gait after amputation or neurologic injury.
Does Spinal Cord Stimulation Have an Effect Beyond Patients' Expectations? An Investigation of Treatment and Placebo Effects
The aim of the study is to evaluate treatment outcomes of Spinal Cord Stimulation. In the study each patient participates in four test sessions of 4-5 hours. Patients arrive for test days with their stimulation on. In each test session, baseline pain is first evaluated. Then, SCS is regulated (on/off) …
Pain Medication Tapering for Patients With Persistent Spinal Pain Syndrome Type 2, Treated With Spinal Cord Stimulation.
The primary objective of the study is to examine whether there is a difference in disability after 12 months of Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) in patients with Persistent Spinal Pain Syndrome Type 2 (PSPS T2) after receiving a standardized pain medication tapering protocol before SCS implantation, a personalized pain medication …
From Nerve to Brain: Toward a Mechanistic Understanding of Spinal Cord Stimulation in Human Subjects
This is a multicenter prospective study of patients who currently have stably implanted spinal cord simulators. Patients will be randomly assigned to turn on or off their spinal cord stimulators for two week intervals up to six weeks after enrollment, and on the final day of study participation, for one …
