Clinical Trial Summary

The study seeks to improve the scientific understanding of how two electrical stimulation techniques, one which delivers electricity to the skin surface over the spine (transcutaneous electrical spinal stimulation [TESS]) and another which is implanted onto the dura mater of the spinal cord (epidural electrical stimulation [EES]), facilitate spinal circuitry to enable function after SCI.


Clinical Trial Description

The study will compare motor activity and clinical outcomes over the course of TESS and EES in combination with physical rehabilitation. The primary outcome data collected will be used to characterize and compare spinal sensorimotor activity in muscles below the level of injury during TESS and EES-enabled motor tasks in persons with chronic motor complete paralysis of the lower extremities due to traumatic SCI. Furthermore, data collected will be used as a proof of concept that TESS can be used to determine recovery of function during EES-enabled motor tasks. Following exposure to each stimulation intervention, data collection will include changes to spasticity, body composition, metabolic variables, and spinal imaging to assess the effect of either TESS or EES stimulation. ;
