Improving Hand Recovery With Neuromodulation in Tetraplegia — IGNITE  

Spinal Cord Injuries Clinical Trial

Official title:
Improving Hand Recovery With Neuromodulation in Tetraplegia

Clinical Trial Summary

This study will examine a form of non-invasive brain stimulation applied with intensive therapy of the arm and hand. The goal of the study is to determine if arm and hand function can be improved in people with incomplete cervical spinal cord injury (neck spinal cord injury, tetraplegia). Participants will be assigned to receive either active or inactive non-invasive brain stimulation.

Clinical Trial Description

This study will look at the effects of a painless, non-invasive form of brain stimulation, called transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS. tDCS is thought to increase the brain's ability to change. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups by chance. One group will receive tDCS at a level expected to increase the brain's ability to change, while the other group will receive tDCS at a level not thought to affect the brain's ability to change. All participants will receive intensive therapy of their more impaired arm and hand, focusing on exercises that are meaningful to him/her. ;
