What this study is about

Researchers are testing whether combining spinal cord stimulation with brain stimulation can improve arm and hand function after a cervical spinal cord injury. The trial will involve temporarily implanting electrical stimulation wires near the cervical spine and using transcranial magnetic stimulation to stimulate the brain. Participants will undergo a series of experiments over 29 days to assess the potential benefits of this combined approach.
