Long-term Paired Associative Stimulation as a Treatment for Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury of Non-traumatic Origin
About this trial
This trial is recruiting individuals with incomplete spinal cord injuries to test a combination of stimulations (Paired Associative Stimulation) intended to restore control and enhance functional output of weak muscles. The treatment consists of non-invasive magnetic stimulation applied over the head paired with a non-invasive peripheral nerve stimulation to the hand. The study will observe long-term effects of the paired stimulation protocol. Participants will receive the stimulation procedures several times a week for 6 weeks. Improvements will be assessed with muscle testing.
