Clinical Testing of Invasive Spinal Cord Stimulation and Evaluation of Its Physiological Effects Using the Electroencephalography
About this trial
This trial is enrolling 35 participants with spinal cord injury to test the effect of epidural spinal stimulation (eSS) on brain activity. eSS is an invasive technique that uses an implanted electrode placed next to the spinal cord to deliver electrical stimulation aimed at modifying spinal cord function. If included, participants will undergo surgical implantation of an epidural spinal stimulator, followed by an individualized eSS program. Final testing of brain activity will be performed after 2 weeks.
