About this trial

The goal of this study is to learn more about the connections between the brain, spinal cord, and muscles and how these connections can be strengthened after neurological injury....

    What’s involved

    Type

    Observational

    Details

    To establish a link between the physiological mechanisms driving enhanced motor control in response to VNS, subjects will undergo progressive training on a visuomotor task that requires fine gradation of voluntary motor output to control a moving object through target boundaries. In separate groups, VNS or sham stimulation will be paired with movement when a minimal time-on-target (ToT) is achieved.

    Potential benefits

    Good to know: Potential benefits are defined as outcomes that are being measured during and/or after the trial.
