Wrist Extensor MEP Up-conditioning for Individuals With Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury
About this trial
This trial is enrolling individuals with chronic cervical spinal cord injuries to test the effect of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) on arm and hand function. TMS is a non-invasive technique which uses a magnetic field to stimulate the brain. A coil (held over the head) delivers the magnetic stimulation that activates the brain and spinal cord. In this study TMS will elicit a muscle response from wrist extensors. If included, participants will undergo 30 visits with TMS, each lasting 1-5 hours.
