Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation Home Study
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to examine the safety and feasibility of SCONE as home based therapy for orthostatic hypotension and bowel dysfunction in individuals with spinal cord injury or multiple system atrophy. The main aims of the study are: To establish a safe protocol for home-based …
Spinal Cord Stimulation for Intractable Mononeuropathy
Rationale: For patients with mononeuropathy, literature has shown that spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an effective therapy for patients who are therapy-resistant to more conventional treatments. However, there is a strong need for higher quality evidence to determine the place of this therapy in this target group. Before conducting a …
Spinal Cord Associative Plasticity for ALS
Veterans are at higher risk than non-Veterans of falling ill with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The investigators have shown that synchronized stimulation over the brain and cervical spinal cord can temporarily strengthen weakened nerve circuits between the brain and hand muscles in people with ALS. The current proposal will take …
Finding the Best Combination of Brain and Spinal Cord Stimulation With Hand Training After Spinal Cord Injury
While physical exercise remains the foundation for any rehabilitation therapy, the team seeks to improve the benefits of exercise by combining it with the concept of "Fire Together, Wire Together" - when brain stimulation is synchronized with spinal cord stimulation, nerve circuits in the spinal cord strengthen - a phenomenon …
NVG-291 in Spinal Cord Injury Subjects
A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase 1b/2a Study of NVG-291 in Spinal Cord Injury Subjects
Exoskeleton and Spinal Cord Stimulation for SCI
The overall aim of this project is to assess the effect of combining transcutaneous lumbosacral stimulation (TLS) during Exoskeleton Assisted Walking (EAW) compared to EAW alone without stimulation on walking recovery.
Therapeutic Mechanisms of Epidural Spinal Cord Stimulation
The purpose of this study in patients undergoing routine care epidural spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is to determine 1) whether SCS reduces arterial blood pressure (BP) in patients which chronic low back pain and hypertension, 2) whether higher baseline BP (i.e., hypertension) predicts reductions in pain following SCS, and finally …
Spinal Cord Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease Rehabilitation
This study explores the use of multifunctional, non-invasive spinal cord transcutaneous stimulation (scTS) to address axial motor symptoms, particularly gait dysfunction, in Parkinson's disease (PD). These symptoms, resistant to levodopa and inadequately managed by deep brain stimulation (DBS), arise from maladaptive spinal network changes. A non-invasive approach like scTS could …
Neuromodulation of the Cortex and Spinal Cord
Specific Aim 1: To further quantify the difference in the sensorimotor cortical activity, spinal cord activity, and corticospinal coherence of persons with CP. Overall hypotheses: The sensorimotor cortical activity, spinal cord activity, and corticospinal coherence will be uncharacteristic in persons with CP when compared with neurotypical controls. Furthermore, the extent …
Noninvasive Spinal Cord Stimulation for Early SCI
The investigators are looking to determine the safety and efficacy of non-invasive transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (TSCS) in promoting recovery of lower urinary tract (LUT), bowel, sexual, and cardiovascular function, as well as spasticity in individuals with subacute SCI (time since injury 3-6 months) and the impact on quality of …
