Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of a novel therapeutic approach with transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) to promote functional recovery and spasticity in chronic spinal cord injury (SCI).


Clinical Trial Description

The purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of a novel therapeutic approach to promote functional recovery and spasticity in chronic SCI. The tsDCS effect on neuro-physiological measures such as H reflex and somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) wiil be evaluated in subjects with SCI. This incremental, design will allow the establishment of strong electrophysiological data prior to rapid clinical translation of the findings about this promising, early-stage technique.

The central hypothesis is twofold: 1) active tsDCS will lead to a change in Hmax/M max ratio than sham tsDCS, in a polarity dependent manner; and 2) active tsDCS will lead to a change in SSEP amplitude and latency, in a polarity dependent manner. ;
